Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 November 2025
769. Deputy Emer Currie asked the Minister for Education and Youth for an update on an SEN repurposing project for a school (details supplied) being delivered under the School Capital Programme; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [58756/25]
View answerThe school to which the Deputy refers was granted approval for the provision of 2 Special Education Needs classrooms (SEN) under my Department's Additional School Accommodation Scheme.
The project is being delivered under the Department’s Devolved SEN Reconfiguration and Modular Accommodation programme. This programme involves the use of Project Management supports which is designed to enable the accommodation to be provided as quickly as possible and help ease the administrative workload for school authorities in relation to the management and delivery of projects.
Kerrigan Sheanon Newman Consultants (KSN) were appointed, from the Department’s Framework to design and tender the project. This consultant led the project through the various stages of planning process and construction.
I am pleased to advise that the project was substantially completed in early September.
