Schools Building Projects
Dail Éireann — 2024-05-28
============================================================

Norma Foley (FF), Kerry

I absolutely agree with the Deputy. There is excellent work happening in the school every single day. The Department has not been found wanting when it comes to resourcing Mayo. More than €111 million between 2020 and 2024 has been expended on buildings in the Mayo school area. That is 46 school building projects. There are 11 additional accommodation and large-scale projects currently in the Department's school building programme pipeline across the county. In those four years, more than €530 million has been shared within the Educate Together patronage. The Department also currently funds a project manager or a buildings officer for Educate Together to help it move along with the projects under its care or under its wing. It is my determination that we will expedite this as quickly as possible. We have put a manager in place to ensure the appropriate site for the best needs of the school and all the other requirements are put in place as a matter of urgency.
