593. Deputy Grace Boland asked the Minister for Education to provide an update on the progress her Department has made in planning and providing the four autism classes for a school (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1196/25]
View answerThe school referred to by the Deputy was approved to enter my Department’s pipeline of school buildings for a project under my Additional Schools Accommodation (ASA) Scheme, to provide a 4 classroom SEN unit as an extension to the existing school building. The project has been devolved for delivery to Louth & Meath Education and Training Board (LMETB).
I am pleased to advise that my Departments has completed the review of the Stage 3 (tender) report and this project has now been approved to proceed to Stage 4 (construction stage). This approval has been communicated to LMETB.
It is now within the remit of Louth & Meath Education and Training Board (LMETB) and the school authority to progress this project accordingly.
