I can confirm that the Department is in receipt of an application for major capital funding from the management authority of the school to which the Deputy refers. The application has been assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria for large scale works. Progress on the project is being considered in the context of the multi annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.

As the Deputy will be aware, the Department intends to permanently accommodate the school to which he refers in a building which it expects to be vacated post an amalgamation of three schools in the immediate area. A technical inspection of the buildings concerned was recently carried out to determine the scope of works required to facilitate the amalgamation and to accommodate the school in question. The Department is anxious to resolve the accommodation issues at the schools in question as soon as possible.
