Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 September 2019
157. Deputy Ruth Coppinger asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he has examined the need for extra second-level education places in the Clonee, Phibblestown and Ongar area of Dublin 15 in view of the high demand for places in a school (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36991/19]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that my Department's capital investment programme provides for devolved funding for additional classrooms for existing schools where an immediate enrolment need has been identified. All school capital projects that have been approved, by my Department, under the Additional Accommodation Scheme, may be viewed on my Department’s website, www.education.ie, which is updated regularly.
In this regard, I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department has not received an application, for such funding, from the school in question.
