SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

Thursday, June 18, 2015

MOTION NO. 150

MOTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

To amend section 11.3.12 relating to ‘education facilities’ by adding a second paragraph as follows: “In addition, all applications relating to the development of new schools and/or school extensions shall include a statement on the local needs for accommodation for Special Education and ASD and provision shall be included where a demonstrated local need exists.”

REPORT:

The Council will continue to work with the Department of Education and Skills to provide much needed accommodation, including those for Special Education and ASD classes. The provision of specific classrooms for children’s needs is a matter that needs to be determined by the Department of Education and Skills prior to the submission of proposals for development and is therefore not a matter for the County Development Plan.

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is not adopted
