I wish to advise the Deputy that the current status of large-scale projects, including those in Wexford, being delivered under the school building programme may be viewed on my Department's website, www.education.ieand this information is updated regularly. In addition, a list of large-scale projects completed from 2010 to date may also be viewed on the website.

The Capital Programme also provides for devolved funding for additional classrooms, if required, for schools where an immediate enrolment need has been identified or where an additional teacher has been appointed. In this regard, I can confirm that my Department has recently received applications, for such funding, from four schools' in Wexford. The applications will be assessed and a decision conveyed to the school authorities when the assessment process has been completed.

All school capital projects that have been approved by my Department under the Additional Accommodation Scheme, may be viewed on my Department’s website, www.education.ie, which is updated regularly.
