Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 June 2015
541. Deputy Michael McCarthy asked the Minister for Education and Skills if she will approve an application for funding in respect of a school (details supplied) in County Cork; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [24702/15]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware, my Department approved significant funding to the school in question earlier this year to provide an extension comprising 2 x 80m² Mainstream Classrooms and 2 x 16m² Resource Rooms to provide additional accommodation and to replace prefab units. This additional permanent accommodation will significantly enhance the school's accommodation. The school recently submitted a proposal to my Department outlining a number of design options in respect of the proposed extension project, all of which would require additional funding. The proposal is currently being considered and a decision will be communicated to the school authority shortly.
