Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 April 2026
594. Deputy Barry Ward asked the Minister for Education and Youth the timeframe for when new classrooms will be in place for a school (details supplied); if her attention has been brought to concerns that if there is a delay, there will not be sufficient accommodation for the students for the coming school year; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe school referred to by the Deputy 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.
