I am pleased to advise the Deputy that my Department recently approved grant aid, subject to certain conditions, towards a sports hall at the school in question. I am not in a position to disclose the level of grant at this point, as to do so, may prejudice the tender process.

My Department has no record of receiving an application for large scale capital funding from the school to which the Deputy refers. Any application received will be considered in the context of the priority attaching to the application as determined by published prioritisation criteria, which were formulated following consultation with the Education Partners. Details explaining these prioritisation criteria are available on my Department's website www.education.ie.
