Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 14 September 2022
354. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Education the current status of an application for capital funding by a school (details supplied) in order to increase capacity of early-start and ASD classes on site; and the timeframe for when a decision will be available. [45083/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraI can confirm to the Deputy, that my Department is in receipt of an application for capital funding under the Additional School Accommodation (ASA) scheme, from the school in question.
The purpose of the ASA scheme is to ensure that essential mainstream classroom and Special Education Needs (SEN) accommodation is available to cater for pupils enrolled each year, where the need cannot be met by the school’s existing accommodation.
A decision on the school's most recent application under the ASA scheme has issued directly to the school authority in this context and my officials are in touch with them in this regard.
