468. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if his Department has received a capital funding application by a school (details supplied) in County Mayo; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the project involves the inclusion of accommodation and facilities for children with additional needs; the timeframe for the processing of the application and commencement of the project; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I can confirm that an application for additional accommodation was submitted by the school referred to by the Deputy to provide accommodation to facilitate children with special educational needs.

Approval in principle has been sanctioned for a devolved grant under the Additional School Accommodation Scheme.  The site development is complex and, in that regard, a project brief is nearing completion. Once completed, my Department will make direct contact with the school in respect of the next steps.
