The Deputy will be aware that a project for the expansion and refurbishment of the school, to which he refers, is included in my Department's 6 Year Capital Programme which was announced in November 2015. The project for Portmarnock Community School is scheduled to proceed to tender and construction in 2019-21. My Department is currently progressing the school project brief and once this process is complete, my Department will be in contact with the school concerned regarding advancing the project into the Architectural Planning process.
In the meantime, my Department has advised the school authority that it is open to it to submit an application for the most minimal and urgent works as an interim measure.
