Amharc ar fhreagraI wish to advise the Deputy, that my Department approved the following works under the Additional Schools Accommodation (ASA) scheme in 2019, for the school in question:
• 1x 80m2 Mainstream classroom incl ensuite
• 3x 80m2 Mainstream classroom incl ensuite toilets
• 2x 15m2 SET rooms
• 1x 10.5m2 WC for assisted users
The school authorities have requested that additional accommodation for special educational needs be added to the previously approved brief. This is currently being considered by my officials and they will be in touch with the school authorities as soon as possible in relation to this matter.
