Deputy Jennifer Whitmore asked the Minister for Education if her Department can supply a timeline for works to be carried out at a school (details supplied), including when the work will be put out to tender, planning permission dates, a date that the works will be completed by, and a date that the new classrooms will be operational; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI am pleased to advise the Deputy that approval has issued for the refurbishment of 4 existing Modular Classroom units and for the provision of 2 additional Modular Classroom units at the school referred, to cater for increased enrolments.
The project is being delivered under the Department’s Devolved SEN Reconfiguration and Modular Accommodation programme which provides the services of a Project Manager to assist the School Authority. This approach supports accelerated delivery of the accommodation and maximises assistance to the school for this brief, the project will be delivered from the Department’s Procurement Frameworks which offers schools the option to provide and deliver a turnkey project with efficiency in terms of timelines, experience, tried & tested service with professional Design Teams and Contractors. The School Authority has overall responsibility for delivery of the project.
