Written answers

I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department has no record of receiving an application for improved accommodation from the school referred to by the Deputy.

The Deputy will be aware that the National Development Plan (NDP) provides for an €8.4 billion investment in school buildings over the period 2018 to 2027 to deliver on NDP and National Planning Framework objectives through addressing the twin priorities of catering for demographics and ensuring a strengthened focus on refurbishment of existing school stock.

It is open to the school in question to submit an application under my Department's Additional School Accommodation (ASA) Scheme to address any immediate deficits of accommodation the school may have.
