View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 17 and 18 together.
Applications have been received from 7 primary and 1 post primary school in County Kerry for new school buildings. Details are attached for the Deputy's convenience. The current status of all projects on the school building programme, including those in Co Kerry, may be viewed on my Department's website at www.education.ie and this will be updated regularly on an ongoing basis.
As the Deputy may be aware, the Government's Medium Term Infrastructure and Capital Investment Framework, which was published on 10th November 2011, sets out the demographic challenge facing the education system in the coming years. The priority now is to focus on major school projects and smaller projects devolved to schools to meet the demographic demands. The primary aim will be to ensure that every child will have access to a school place. I have previously committed to publishing a five year plan early in the new year outlining the school building projects to be constructed in that time.
