Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 July 2024
344. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Education further to Parliamentary Question Nos. 189 of 23 May and 152 of 27 June 2024, when the visit referred to occurred; if her Department will organise another visit to see the current status; and if a report will be provided of this visit. [29652/24]
View answerI can confirm to the Deputy, that officials from my Department's Professional and Technical Section visited the schools in question on 21 May 2024. On foot of this visit, recommendations were provided to the Building Officer of Educate Together. The Department has requested Educate Together, as patron of the school in question, to work with the school to fulfil the agreement made with the special school. The Department-supported Educate Together Buildings Officer has been asked to work through an appropriate solution in this respect. Engagement between the Department and patron is ongoing.
The need for a follow up visit by my officials will be kept under review.
