592. Deputy Barry Ward asked the Minister for Education and Youth if her attention has been drawn to a letter sent to her office by a board of management of a school (details supplied); the actions she will take to address the concerns raised; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30565/26]
View answerThe correspondence referred to by the Deputy has been discussed with the patron of the school and a response has also issued directly to the school principal.
The school referred is currently accommodated in the completed Cherrywood ETNS school building and in modular accommodation on an adjacent Minister-owned site pending delivery of the school’s permanent project on the Abilene site.
Following consultation and agreement with the school and its patron body, two additional mainstream classrooms and one Science Lab will be provided in modular accommodation to meet the requirements for the 2026/27 school year.
The Department continues to liaise with the school and its patron body in relation to progress and programme for delivery.
