29 Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will provide an update on his plans for an extension to a school (details supplied) in County Cavan; the status of the school’s future development plans; and the action he will take in the coming period in relation to the school.

Amharc ar fhreagraTo ensure that every child has access to a school place, the delivery of projects to meet the increasing demographic demands will be the main focus for capital investment over the next 5 years, particularly in those areas where it has been identified that most future demographic growth will be concentrated. The project for the school referred to by the Deputy, will continue to progress through the design stages of architectural planning within the context of available funding. However, due to competing demands on my Departments capital budget, it is not possible at this time to progress the project to tender and construction stage.
