Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 3 November 2016
57. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Education and Skills when an application for a new school (details supplied) will be approved; if the school is on his Department's building programme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33087/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe school referred to by the Deputy has submitted an application to my Department for a new school building. The Deputy will be aware that my Department’s current priority is focused on the provision of essential classroom accommodation to meet demographic demand and this will be the main focus for capital investment in the coming years.
As a project for the two teacher school in question was not included in my Department’s 6 year Construction Programme (2016 – 2021), it is not possible to provide an indicative timeframe for the progression of a building project for the school at this time.
