The school to which the Deputy refers has applied to my Department for large scale capital funding for an extension. The application has been assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria for large scale building projects and assigned a Band 3 rating.

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.

All large scale building projects, including this project, from initial design stage through to construction phase are being progressed in the context of my Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme and the available financial resources. However, in light of current competing demands on the capital budget of my Department, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the progression of the project at this time.

My Department has no record of an application for major capital funding from the school referred to by the Deputy. This school have been provided with an extension project which was completed in 2002. If the school wish to request further capital funding towards a specific project, they should complete the appropriate form which can be found on my Department's website, www.education.ie, and forward the completed form to my Department. This form will then be assessed by my Department's staff and a response will issue to the school when a decision has been made.
