Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 April 2019
194. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of an application for a new primary school (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15314/19]
View answerI wish to confirm to the Deputy that an application for Major Capital Funding has been received from the school in question. Applications from schools for major capital works must be considered in the context of the demographic challenge facing the education system in the coming years.
It is open to an individual school to apply for accommodation under the 'Additional School Accommodation Scheme' if the school does not have sufficient capacity to meet school places.
