I can confirm to the Deputy that the school referred to has been approved for a project under my Department's Additional School Accommodation (ASA) Scheme. The project will provide for the following accommodation at the school: 2x 15m2 SET room

I can advise the Deputy that a Stage 1/2a Report was submitted to my Department in September 2022. The stage report was reviewed by my officials and combined comments were issued to the school for appropriate attention. It is now a matter for the Board of Management to advance the project in that regard.
