Minister for Education

The project to which the Deputy refers was approved a project under my Department’s Additional School Accommodation Scheme (ASA) for the provision of 2 SEN base and central activity room.

A Stage 2b Report was received in quarter 4 of 2023 and is being reviewed by officials in my Department. At this stage, It is not possible to give a definitive timeline as to when this review will be complete.

Officials at my Department are liaising with the school authority and will provide guidance on the next stage of the project once the review has been concluded.
