Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 April 2023
625. Deputy Pauline Tully asked the Minister for Education if she will provide an update on the progress of development works including an ASA scheme and a SWS 2020 scheme at a school (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [16329/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy is aware, the school in question was approved funding under the Additional School Accommodation Scheme (ASA) for the provision of two 80m2 Mainstream classrooms and 1 Special Education Needs Base. The school was also approved funding under the Summer Works Scheme (SWS) 2022 for an external works project.
The school authority have submitted their Stage 1 ASA report, and this is currently with the Department's professional and technical team for review. The SWS project is currently at pre-planning stage.
Whilst these projects are to be delivered on a devolved basis, my Department is engaged directly with the school to ensure that both projects are delivered in the most effective and efficient manner possible.
