My Department will continue to prioritise investment in County Limerick. I refer the Deputy to my Department's website which includes a list of all large scale projects in county order being delivered under the school building programme. The list includes 15 large scale projects in County Limerick with their current status from site acquisition to construction stage. The list is updated on a monthly basis with the next update due on 31 May 2018.
