The school, referred to by the Deputy, has applied to my Department for large scale capital funding.

In view of the need to prioritise available funding for the provision of additional school accommodation, the delivery of major school projects required to meet future demographic demand will be the main focus for capital investment in the coming years.

In light of current competing demands on the Department's capital budget, it is not possible at this time to indicate when a project for the school in question will be progressed.
