Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 November 2024
427. Deputy Pádraig O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Education further to Parliamentary Question No. 162 of 24 September 2024, if there is a further update on the status of a new school building for a school (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [44605/24]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe school to which the Deputy refers was approved to enter the department’s pipeline for a project under the Additional School Accommodation (ASA) Scheme. The project will provide five mainstream classrooms, one SET room and a two classroom Special Education Needs (SEN) base. The project was devolved to the school authority for delivery.
The project remains under careful review from a technical and cost perspective as we are committed to a thorough evaluation to ensure compliance with costs, procedural standards, and the project scope. It is not possible to estimate the duration of this review however my Department will endeavour to review as early as possible.
Once Stage 1 report review is concluded my department will be in touch with the school authority on how best to progress this important project.
