The promised modular building has already been approved for staffing and funding, but is still yet to be provided.

Speaking in the Dáil yesterday, Sinn Féin TD for North Kildare Réada Cronin raised the ongoing delay for an additional classroom for children with ASD at Scoil Mhuire in Clane.

The promised modular building has already been approved for staffing and funding, but is still yet to be provided.

"This isn't a question of money, this is a question of priority", said Réada Cronin on this morning's Kildare Today programme.

The question of will the classroom be open for September next remains unanswered, as Réada Cronin has rejected the generalised response to her question.
