Laois Offaly TD Charlie Flanagan said he expects the new building project to be back up and running within two weeks.
The campaign for a new midlands special school has been given a boost - after several members of Laois County Council backed plans to march over delays to a new school.
Parents and staff at Kolbe School say they will take to the streets if plans are not re-instated.
The project was one of 58 to be put on hold earlier this month, due to Capital Funding pressures.
The local authority is also inviting the Education Minister to Portlaoise to see the "appalling" conditions that children are being taught in.
Last week, Fine Gael TD Charlie Flanagan said he expects the new building project to be back up and running within two weeks.
Councillors, which include Sinn Fein's Caroline Dwane Stanley, Labour's Marie Tuohy, Fine Gael's Thomasina Connell and Independents Ben Brennan and James Kelly say they fully back the threat, and will also take to the streets.
Cllr. Dwane-Stanley says the delays are absolutely unacceptable:
