544. Deputy Mattie McGrath asked the Minister for Education the status of an application for additional accommodation by a school (details supplied) in County Tipperary; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [37274/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe school to which the Deputy refers was approved funding under my Department’s Additional School Accommodation (ASA) Scheme to build a one classroom special education unit base. This project is devolved to the Board of Management of the school.
I can confirm that my Department has received a fees uplift request from the school pertaining to its Design Team. My Department officials have repeatedly requested further information and will continue to make every effort possible to obtain this required information in order to finalise a decision. This decision will then be conveyed to the school authority. It is the responsibility of the school and its Design Team to provide the Department with the information that remains outstanding.
