Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 19 May 2026
465. Deputy Emer Currie asked the Minister for Education and Youth for an update regarding an additional accommodation project under the school capital programme (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [36577/26]
View answerAs previously outlined a Stage 1 report was returned to my department in February 2026 and is currently being reviewed. Given the detailed nature of the evaluation process, the need to ensure full cost compliance, and the requirement to align the project with the prioritisation framework under the National Development Plan, this review process is necessarily thorough.
The accommodation needs at this school will be considered as part of the ongoing overall department led prioritisation process, in consultation with the school’s patron and school authorities. It is not possible to provide indicative timelines for this review process or for progression to subsequent stages, as the project remains under active consideration and will advance in line with the wider NDP programme implementation framework.
