Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 October 2017
177. Deputy Marc MacSharry asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of the allocation for the provision of a multipurpose room which is needed for the pupils and staff of a school (details supplied); if approval will be given; the timeframe involved; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42324/17]
View answerI can confirm that my Department received an application from the school referred to by the Deputy for a General Purpose room.
Due to the competing demands on the Department's capital budget imposed by the need to prioritise available funding towards the provision of essential school classroom accommodation, it is not possible at this point to provide an indicative timeframe for the provision of funding for the GP room in question. The school concerned has been advised of this position.
