247. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Education the status of the new building for three autism classes in a school (details supplied); when they will be able to go out to tender; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [46853/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am pleased to inform the Deputy that funding was approved under the Additional School Accommodation (ASA) Scheme to enable the school in question to build a 2 Classroom SEN Base and an Early Intervention Unit.
The project is currently at Stage 2b of the architectural planning process. I can confirm that the Department has received a Stage 2b Report which is currently being reviewed by Department officials; once this review is complete, the Department will revert to the school with the outcome with a view to moving to tender stage as soon as possible.
