Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 March 2012
203 Deputy Seamus Healy asked the Minister for Education and Skills when he intends to make funding available for the construction of a Gaelscoil (details supplied) in view of the fact that this Gaelscoil has been waiting 18 years for a new school; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14030/12]
View answerI can confirm that a site has been purchased for the Gaelscoil referred to by the Deputy and that planning permission has been sought for the site. In view of the need to ensure that every child has access to a school place, the delivery of major school projects required to meet demographic demand will be the main focus for capital investment in the coming years. It is not possible, therefore, to give an indicative timeframe for the progression of the project at this time.
