An application for capital funding towards the provision of a new school building has been received from the school referred to by the Deputy.

The commencement and progression of all large-scale building projects, including this project, will be considered in the context of my Department's Multi-Annual School Building and Modernisation Programme. However, in light of current competing demands on the capital budget of the Department, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the progression of this project at this time.
