Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 November 2015
482. Deputy Noel Coonan asked the Minister for Education and Skills to outline the status of a school building project (details supplied) in County Tipperary; the funding allocated to it, as announced in the capital building programme; if construction will commence in 2019, or if the new building will be completed by that date; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerAs the Deputy is aware, I announced details on Tuesday, 17 November last, of the major school building projects that are scheduled to proceed to construction over the next six years, as part of the Government's €2.8 billion capital investment programme.
I am pleased to advise the Deputy that a project for the school to which he refers was included in this announcement. It is envisaged that construction will commence between the years 2019 to 2021, as outlined in the programme. However, due to commercial sensitivities, it is not possible to provide details of the level of funding allocated in respect of this project.
Information in respect of all schools included in the Six Year Programme is available on the Department's website at www.education.ie.
