Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 16 November 2016
127. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Education and Skills the extent to which his Department continues to examine the need for new building at a school (details supplied); when he expects an evaluation to be completed; the extent to which the project continues to be examined in the relevant section of his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35494/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraI wish to advise the Deputy that the school in question contacted my Department in March 2015 regarding its accommodation. My Department subsequently provided the school with an application form. To date, my Department has no record of receiving a completed application form. In that regard, a further communication issued to the school earlier this year. Any application received will be assessed in the context of current competing priorities and the need to prioritise available funding for essential classroom accommodation where additional teachers are being appointed.
