Question:

149. Deputy Willie O'Dea asked the Minister for Education and Skills if an extension has been approved for a school (details supplied) in County Limerick; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [33513/15]

Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

I can confirm that a major extension to provide additional classrooms and resource rooms has been approved in respect of the school referred to by the Deputy.

Responsibility for the project has been devolved to the school authorities, and the relevant Education and Training Board is providing assistance to the school in this regard.

I understand that the Design Team has been appointed and the project is in the early stages of architectural planning. No funding has been drawn down to date in respect of the project in question.
