Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 14 October 2015
92. Deputy Marcella Corcoran Kennedy asked the Minister for Education and Skills when a school (details supplied) in County Offaly will receive a new school building, as it is still operating on a split site following an amalgamation in 2007; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35821/15]
View answerI can confirm that the school referred to by the Deputy submitted an application for major capital funding for a new school building to facilitate an amalgamation.
As the Deputy will appreciate, due to the competing demands on my Department's capital budget imposed by the need to prioritise the funding available for the provision of essential school classroom accommodation, it is not possible to provide an indicative timeframe for the progression of a major project for the school in question at this time.
