I can confirm to the Deputy that 29 new applications for large scale capital works in schools were received by my Department during the last school year.

The progression of all large scale building projects, including these projects, from initial design stage through to construction phase will be considered in the context of my Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.

Information in respect of the current school building programme along with all assessed applications for major capital works is available on my Department's website at www.education.ie.
