I can confirm to the Deputy that an application was received in 2000 from Co Donegal VEC for large scale capital funding for an extension/refurbishment project at the school to which he refers.

The progression of all large scale building projects, including this project, from initial design stage through to construction is dependent on the prioritisation of competing demands on the funding available under my Departments capital budget. This project will be considered on an on-going basis in the context of my Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.
