498 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Education and Science the position in relation to an application for a new school (details supplied) in County Mayo; the position in relation to funding for the school; and if an application for planning permission has been lodged. [6345/07]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe new building for the school in question is one of 54 major primary school building projects which I announced last November to proceed to tender and construction over the next 12 to 15 months. This programme will provide over 10,000 permanent school places to be delivered in new schools and a further 5,900 pupils will see facilities modernised with major extension projects.
My Department is in communication with Westport Town Council regarding planning permission for the building project.
