I can confirm that the school to which the Deputy refers has applied to my Department for large scale capital funding to provide a new school building. The building project, when approved, will be constructed on a greenfield site and the acquisition process for the site is currently in train.
The current status of all projects on the school building programme, including the school referred to by the Deputy, may be viewed on my Department's website at www.education.ie and this is being updated regularly throughout the year.
The Deputy will be aware that in view of the need to prioritise available funding for the provision of additional school accommodation, the delivery of major school projects required to meet future demographic demand will be the main focus for capital investment in the coming years.
