The school referred to by the Deputy has an application with the Department for major capital grant aid.

The application has been assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria for large scale building works. Progress on the project will be considered in the context of the multi-annual School Building and Modernisation programme from 2007 onwards.

Since 2004 the school has received circa €1.45 million under Summer Works Schemes for refurbishment works on areas such as roofs, windows and toilets. The school was also successful under the recent Permanent Accommodation Scheme and has been awarded a grant of €340,000 for the provision of four permanent classrooms.
