Billy Kelleher (Cork North Central, Fianna Fail)

The Deputy will appreciate that the progression of all large-scale building projects from initial design through to construction stage is considered on an ongoing basis in the context of the national development plan and the Department's multi-annual school building and modernisation programme. Progress to construction on the proposed project for Kilfinane national school will likewise be considered in this context.

I assure the Deputy that the Minister is committed to providing a new school for Kilfinane national school and that this will be done as quickly as possible.
