Minister for Education and Youth

As previously advised to the Deputy, the school referred to was approved to enter my Department's pipeline of project under the Additional School Accommodation (ASA) scheme. The project is for repurposing works to create one Special Educational Needs (SEN) classroom and is devolved to the school authority for delivery.

The project received approval from my Department to commence construction in January 2026. More recently, Department officials were notified by the school authorities that construction has now commenced.
