Minister for Education and Skills

As the Deputy is aware, a building project for the school to which she refers was included in the Department's 6-Year Construction Programme. My Department has undertaken a site visit to the school in the context of the preparatory work associated with the project. The next step involves initiating the architectural planning process for the project and my Department will be in further contact with the school in this regard.
