Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 8 May 2024
185. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Education when a revised building works approval will issue to a school in County Kerry (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [20184/24]
View answerI can confirm to the Deputy that the school referred to was approved to enter my Department’s pipeline of school buildings for a project to provide for 1 mainstream classroom, to include alterations to the existing school to provide SET facilities, under my Department's Additional School Accommodation (ASA) Scheme. The responsibility for this project has been devolved to the school authority.
A Stage 2b report and a request for an uplift in fees has been submitted and is currently being reviewed from both a technical and cost perspective in accordance with the requirements of the Public Spending Code.
The Department will be in contact with the school directly once these matters have been reviewed.
