School Accommodation
Dail Éireann — 2021-07-01
============================================================

Norma Foley (FF), Kerry

I appreciate the Deputy's genuine interest in this issue and the necessity to advance this project as quickly as possible.
I can confirm that we are doing all we can. Certainly we hit a block in terms of the planning but we have reconfigured and reassessed and are doing all we can to ensure the next application will succeed.
I appreciate the points made by the Deputy. The Department has also approved the rental of additional rooms to provide sufficient accommodation for the 2021-22 academic year and is continuing to work with the patron body. I can confirm to the Deputy that there will be sufficient interim accommodation for September 2021. I appreciate the urgency of it and we are very cognisant of the importance of advancing this as quickly as possible.
