219. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if his attention has been drawn to the extremely poor condition of the accommodation facilities of two national schools (details supplied) in County Cork sharing the one campus; his plans for dealing with the matter in the short and long term; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The two schools to which the Deputy refers were both approved funding under the Prefab Replacement Scheme in 2012.

The school authorities subsequently submitted an alternative proposal that included consolidating accommodation onto a single site. This proposal was considered by my Department and further clarification in relation to the schools proposal was sought and recently received. Officials in my Department intend to meet with the school authorities shortly with a view to progressing the proposed project.
