93. Deputy Thomas Pringle asked the Minister for Education the current situation with the proposed extension for an urgently needed learning support room that is required for a school in Donegal (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [39562/24]

I 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 the following accommodation 1 x Special Education Tuition Room under my Department's Additional School Accommodation (ASA) Scheme. The responsibility for this project has been devolved to the school authority.

I can confirm the project was approved to Stage 4 construction stage in May 2024. The school recently advised my Department that the contractor would not be commencing on site until December 2024. It is now a matter for the school to progress this project to completion stage.
