Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 4 May 2016
260. Deputy John Brassil asked the Minister for Education and Skills to allocate the required funds under additional accommodation to a school (details supplied) for a woodwork and science laboratory; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [9062/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy will be aware, a major building project for the school, to which he refers, is included in my Department's 6 Year Capital Programme, that I announced in November last.
My Department is also in receipt of an application from the school in question for devolved funding to meet immediate accommodation requirements. This application is currently under consideration by my Department. However, I can confirm that to assist the appraisal process my Department's Inspectorate visited the school recently. My Department expects to be in further contact with the school concerned as soon as this assessment process has been finalised.
