As the Deputy is aware, I announced details on Tuesday, 17th November, of the major school building projects that are scheduled to proceed to construction over the next six years, as part of the Government's €2.8 billion capital investment programme.

I am pleased to advise the Deputy that a project for the schools to which he refers was included in this announcement to proceed to construction in the period 2019-21. The project will facilitate the amalgamation of the two primary schools in Dingle. A formal amalgamation proposal has been made to my Department in respect of the schools concerned. My Department is liaising with the schools and their Patron in relation to the amalgamation proposal and also the capital works involved. Information in respect of all schools included in the Six Year Programme is available on the Department's website at www.education.ie
