Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Youth

Education for Children with Special Educational Needs: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Helen Walsh:

The majority of accommodation in Dublin 15 is internal. Because of the timelines for the sanction earlier this year, principals could start from that moment forward. Some of the projects are devolved, so the principals themselves are working through it and it is up to contractors and so on to get it in line. In reality, any school that has a class that was sanctioned from February or March on is in a really strong position to have that complete. There were some schools in Dublin 15 with additional modular accommodation. Some of that planning has happened from last summer, so we would expect to see that in place. For some, there will need to be contingency measures, but I would say that is on the small end.
