Scoil Chiaráin redevelopment delay

Summary

Deputy Ellis said parents and staff were still waiting for the long-delayed redevelopment of Scoil Chiaráin in Glasnevin. The Taoiseach said he would speak to the Education Minister and seek an allocation if possible.

It is exactly a year since I raised the issue of the persistent delays in the redevelopment of Scoil Chiaráin in Glasnevin, which is a school for students with mild to moderate educational needs. A report commissioned by the school deemed the school building not fit for purpose. With everything effectively in place, the parents and the school authorities are at a loss to know when construction will begin on site. Can the Taoiseach address these concerns by giving a date when construction can begin?

I do not have the specifics of the case but I take on board what the Deputy is saying. I will talk to the Minister for Education and Youth and others to see if we can get some get allocation to that project.
