MOTION NO. 151

MOTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

To add a further objective under ‘(CI) Policy 9’ “To work in conjunction with the Department of Education & Skills to promote the provision for accommodation for Special Education and ASD classes in more schools; and to seek that applications relating to the development of new schools and/or school extensions should include provision for accommodation for Special Education and ASD classes where a demonstrated local need exists.”

Co-sponsored by Cllrs Brophy, Casserly, Dermody, Egan, Higgins, Donovan

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
