Question:

258. Deputy Tom Fleming asked the Minister for Education and Skills if she will examine an application by the board of management of a school (details supplied) in County Kerry for a new-build school, as the old school was constructed in 1836, has long since outlived the purpose for which it was originally intended and is beyond reconstruction; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

I can confirm that the school to which the Deputy refers has recently applied to my Department for large scale capital funding to provide a new school building.

My Department has been in recent contact with the School in respect of their proposal and will be in a position to assess the proposal further when a response to the queries raised is received.
