I can confirm that the school referred to by the Deputy has made an application to my Department for large scale capital funding. The application has been assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria and the appropriate band rating has been assigned.

The current status of all projects on the school building programme, including the school referred to by the Deputy, may be viewed on my Department's website at www.education.ie and this will be updated regularly throughout the year. The progression of all large scale building projects, including this project, from initial design stage through to construction will be considered in the context of the school building and modernisation programme. However, in light of current competing demands on the Department's capital budget and the need to ensure that every child has access to a physical school place, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the progression of the project at this time.
