206 Deputy Paul Connaughton asked the Minister for Education and Science the position of an application for the refurbishment of a school (details supplied) in County Galway; if the existing structure will be demolished; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [15833/08]
Amharc ar fhreagraAn application for capital funding towards the provision of a new school building has been received from the school authority referred to by the Deputy. The long term projected staffing assessment and the further progression of the proposed building project will be considered on an ongoing basis in the context of my Department's multi annual School Building and Modernisation programme. In the interim, officials in my Department are in contact with the school management regarding the provision of temporary accommodation and additional information is expected from the management shortly. When this documentation is received the school authority will be notified of the position without delay.
