94. Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding progress on the development of a new permanent school building for schools (details supplied) to replace their temporary accommodation; his plans to increase the playground size of the schools; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22146/19]
View answerI can confirm that my Department has received applications from the schools referred to in the details supplied by the Deputy for the replacement of temporary accommodation.
I wish to confirm that my Department remains in contact with the second named school regarding its application and my Department's School Capital Appraisals Section in Tullamore expects to be in a position to issue a formal response shortly.
In the case of the first named school, my Department will be undertaking a site visit in the context of the school's application and is liaising with the school principal in this regard.
