Minister for Education

Setanta Special School and Ballyowen Meadows School are part of a large-scale capital project, to be co-located on a campus at the existing site in Stillorgan.

I am pleased to inform the Deputy that after completing the tendering process, the successful Tenderer commenced construction on site in May 2023.

The works will take an estimated completion timeframe of 18 months.
