Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 5 February 2026
237. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Education and Youth if she is aware that her Department has completed a refurbishment plan for a school (details supplied); the immediate steps she will take to sanction this much needed refurbishment plan as the school has been waiting for some time; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [8918/26]
View answerIt is intended that the school referred to by the deputy will relocate to a former primary school building that was vacated by a special school in late 2025.
My department is in ongoing engagement with the patron in relation to the school's relocation and the department carried out a technical visit to the building proposed for the relocation of the school.
My department has appointed a project manager who has examined options for refurbishment works at the planned building for this school. This report is currently under review in the Department and we will revert to the school's patron on full completion of this review.
