The school to which the Deputy refers applied to my Department in 2005 for large scale capital funding for an extension and refurbishment. The application was assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria for large scale building projects and assigned a band rating of 2.5. Information in respect of the current school building programme along with all assessed applications for major capital works, including the project referred to by the Deputy, is available on the Department's website at www.education.ie. The school authority has recently applied to my Department for additional accommodation for resource teaching. This application is currently under consideration and a decision will issue to the school authority in due course.
