Question:

703 Deputy Tom Hayes asked the Minister for Education and Science if physical educational hall facilities will be approved for a school (details supplied) in County Tipperary. [19951/07]

Written answers

Minister for Education and Science (Deputy Mary Hanafin)

I can confirm to the Deputy that the school to which he refers has applied for major capital funding for a PE Hall. It is not clear as to whether or not the school also requires mainstream accommodation. This matter is being clarified with the school authority. Once the relevant information has been received, the application will be assigned a band rating under the prioritisation criteria for large scale building projects and progress will be considered in the context of the multi-annual school building and modernisation programme.
