89. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills for an update on the request by a school (details supplied) that the modular unit works at the school include direction to complete a yard in order that this surface can later accommodate an astro-turf pitch; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I am pleased to advise the Deputy that this school has been granted approval for the provision of two Special Education Needs classrooms and 2 SET rooms under the Department’s Devolved SEN Reconfiguration and Modular Accommodation programme.
I have been advised that from a professional and technical point of view, it will be feasible to install drainage after the modular project is delivered and certified as compliant under building regulations. The proposal outlined does not form part of the current project brief and therefore, cannot be considered by the Department at this time.

90. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if she is aware that the current development of modular units at a school (details supplied) will make it very difficult, perhaps impossible, to gain sufficient access to a back field in order to carry out future works on the field; if she has received contrary advice to that position; if so, by whom; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
