I propose to take Questions Nos. 209 to 211, inclusive, together.
I wish to advise the Deputy that major projects for the two schools referred to are included in my Department’s 6 year Construction Programme.
My Department’s proposal is to co-locate the two schools in question on the current Gairmscoil Mhuire site once that site is vacated. In this regard, I wish to advise the Deputy that a major project for Gairmscoil Mhuire is progressing through the architectural planning process.
My Department has received an application from Galway and Roscommon ETB regarding funding for the upgrading of the sub-office located in Roscommon town. My Department has had ongoing engagement with personnel in the ETB in relation to this matter. There are many competing demands for capital investment within the education sector and this application is being considered within that context. My Department will be in touch with the ETB in relation to same.
