Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 February 2018
220. Deputy Stephen S. Donnelly asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding an application in respect of a school (details supplied) for the provision of an assembly hall; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7299/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraI wish to confirm to the Deputy that the school in question has applied for major capital funding for the provision of a sports/sssembly hall.
Due to the very significant challenges facing my Department in prioritising available capital funding for essential mainstream classrooms to meet the demand for extra school places, my Department is not in a position to consider funding such a project at this time. This position has been discussed with the school authority.
