Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department has recently confirmed the need for a building project at the school, to which he refers, to meet the demographic demand that has been identified in the area in question. My Department will be making further contact with the school regarding progression of the project concerned.
As the Deputy may be aware, I have already indicated in the context of the announcement on 10th November 2011 last of the Government's Medium Term Infrastructure and Capital Investment Framework, which sets out the demographic challenge facing the education system in the coming years, that I intend to publish shortly a five year plan outlining the projects to be constructed in that time.
