I am pleased to hear that. The school building project for Dunshaughlin Community National School involves the construction of eight new classrooms, as the Deputy is aware, and accommodation, including two classrooms for children with special educational needs and ancillary accommodation. The location, as the Deputy is aware, is on the Dublin Road and the campus site will also incorporate the new post-primary school building for Coláiste Ríoga. The planning permission for the school referred to by the Deputy was granted on 4 November 2020. In the event that an extension to the current planning permission is required, the Department will prepare the necessary documentation. The school will require one additional classroom to meet the requirements for September 2024 and the Department has accommodation available that could be relocated onto the site during the summer months, subject to the granting of planning permission. The Department will do that if it is considered necessary in this case.
