School Accommodation
Dail Éireann — 2023-03-23
============================================================

Norma Foley (FF), Kerry

I know the Deputy’s personal investment in the school. The fact that there is a new school development is very positive and I know the Deputy has personally engaged in that. The question concerns size. I can only confirm to the Deputy that this is the standard size that is being provided at primary level. A 195 sq. m GP room is provided as part of a new eight to 16 classroom building. Obviously, a larger school will get a larger GP facility. This is part of a further suite of measures that has been provided. In addition to the GP rooms and PE halls, for example, a library, a multi-purpose room, special education tuition rooms and offices are provided at primary level. Accommodation provided for new primary schools to support children with special educational needs also includes a central activity space, a multi-activity room, a daily living skills facility, quiet spaces and outdoor facilities.
