I wish to advise the Deputy that there are 11 schools in South Tipperary that have temporary accommodation, one of which is a post primary school. A list of the schools containing the information requested is attached for the Deputy's convenience.

All large scale building projects, including proposed projects for South Tipperary will be considered within the context of my Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme. In light of current competing demands on the capital budget of my Department, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the provision of permanent accommodation for these schools at this time. The current status of all projects on the school building programme, including those in South Tipperary, may be viewed on my Department's website at www.education.ie and this will be updated regularly throughout the year.
