School Accommodation
Seanad Éireann — 2025-12-09
============================================================

Frankie Feighan (FG), Sligo-Leitrim

I thank the Senator. She has made it quite clear that she needs a timeline. She expected that the diggers would be on-site last summer. Unfortunately, I do not have any timelines for her but I will bring her concerns back to the Minister. The sectoral plans for the education and youth sector will be published next week and the first tranche of projects to progress to construction will be published in January. The NDP implementation guide will optimise outputs from the NDP allocations with a strong focus on maximising existing school capacity, progressing priority projects for local capacity across schools in areas deemed insufficient, ensuring delivery that is affordable, offers value for money and meets functional needs. Effectively, the sectoral plan will be published next week and hopefully the school will be in that sectoral plan. I will bring the Senator's concerns back to the Minister.
