I can confirm that the school to which the Deputy refers has applied to my Department for large scale capital funding for the replacement of the school's Assembly Hall/Gym. In accordance with the published criteria for large scale building projects, the project has been assigned a Band 2 rating.

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

In view of the need to ensure that every child has access to a school place, the delivery of major school projects required to meet demographic demand will be the main focus for capital investment in the coming years. It is not possible, therefore, to give an indicative timeframe for the progression of the project, referred to by the Deputy, at this time.
