Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 2 May 2012
52 Deputy Patrick Nulty asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will expedite the provision of a long-standing planned extension for a school (details supplied) in County Dublin; if he will provide an update on the current status of the project; the reason for the delay; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI can confirm that the school referred to by the Deputy has an application with my Department for capital funding for a major school project. Information in respect of the current status of all assessed applications for major capital works, including this project, is available on the Department's website at www.education.ie. As outlined in the Five Year Plan, the delivery of major school projects required to meet demographic demand will be the main focus for capital investment in the coming years. In view of the funding constraints imposed by the need to prioritise available funding to meet additional demographic requirements, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the progression of this school project at this time.
