Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 May 2017
310. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Education and Skills further to Parliamentary Question No. 145 of 10 November 2016, the status of an application for funding a school building project for a school (details supplied); and the timeframe for a decision. [19352/17]
View answerThe position relating to an application for capital funding from the school referred to is as advised to the Deputy in my response to parliamentary question 145 last November. My Department met with the principal and members of the Board of Management of the school in September 2016. The school representatives were advised of my Department's commitments under the 6 Year Programme and that the emphasis is on ensuring that every child has access to a physical school place. In this context, the representatives were advised that my Department is not in a position to consider a request for capital funding for the school in question, at this time.
