Comment on this
The school referred to by the Deputy was approved under the Additional School Accommodation (ASA) Scheme for the provision of one Mainstream Classroom, one Special Education Teaching (SET) room and one Special Educational Needs (SEN) room. The project has been devolved to the school authority for delivery.
The school initially submitted a Stage 1/2a Report that extended beyond the scope of works approved by the Department. As a result, the school was requested to submit a revised report aligned with the approved project scope.
The revised Stage 1/2a Report has since been received and reviewed in accordance with the Department's Infrastructure Guidelines, taking into account the priorities and funding framework set out under the National Development Plan. Following this review, a further request for information and clarification issued to the school.
The school has responded to this request and the matters raised are currently being considered by the Department as part of the ongoing review process.
