As the Deputy is aware, a building project for the school to which he refers is included in my Department's 6 Year Construction Programme.

In the context of progressing the project, a school site visit, by my Department's technical staff, has been undertaken. The next step involves the formulation of the project brief including the schedules of accommodation and this process is in train.  My Department will be liaising with the school's patron in the matter shortly.

The building project for the school in question is included in my Department’s 6 Year Construction Programme.

Arising from the national demographic exercise involving all planning areas, including the area where the school is located, at primary and post-primary level, my Department is reviewing the long term pupil enrolment for the school in question. My Department expects to be in contact with the school's patron in the matter shortly.

I am pleased to advise the Deputy that my Department has approved 8 general mainstream classrooms as a first phase of the project. This project will be devolved to Cork Education and Training Board for delivery.
