View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that my Department has no current record of receiving an application for additional accommodation from the first school listed. It is open to the school authority to make an application for additional accommodation through the 'Additional School Accommodation scheme (ASA)' which is available at www.education.ie.
The second school listed has been approved funding under the Additional School Accommodation (ASA) Scheme to provide 4 x 80m² mainstream classrooms + ensuite toilets and a 2 class SEN base and reconfiguration of library.
My Department is currently awaiting a revised Stage 2A Report addressing all comments raised in the combined stage comments from the Department's Professional & Technical team.
This project has been Devolved to the School Authority for Delivery.
