A midlands junior Minister says the ESB will carry out electricity works in the coming weeks while issues with funding are resolved.
Works on a new special school in the midlands are continuing, despite delays to plans.
The new Kolbe Special School in Portlaoise is currently at the planning stage, but can't proceed to tender due to Capital funding pressures.
But, the ESB will carry out electricity works in the coming weeks, while issues with funding are resolved, according to Laois Offaly Fianna Fáil TD Sean Fleming.
He says the school remains his number one priority:
