An application for large scale capital funding has been received from one of the primary schools in Clane and the Department has contacted the other school in relation to its long term requirements. The Department has no application for capital funding at post primary level but it is keeping the situation under review. As the Deputy will be aware, all applications for large scale capital funding are assessed against published prioritisation criteria. Progress on individual projects will be considered in the context of the multi-Annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.
