The Deputy will be aware that a building project for the school in question is included on the Department's building programme to be delivered as part of the National Development Plan (NDP).

My Department has been liaising with the Patron of the school relating to the site proposed for the construction of the new school and has recently received clarification in this regard. This will facilitate the preparation of the accommodation brief for the project and my Department will be in further contact with the patron as this process progresses.

I wish to advise the Deputy that the current status of large-scale projects being delivered under Project Ireland 2040, including those projects in Cork, may be viewed on my Department's website www.education.ie. This information is listed on a county basis and is updated regularly. In addition, a list of large-scale projects completed from 2010 to date may also be viewed on the website.

Regarding each individual project it is subject to its own particular circumstances. The cost of each project and the expected completion of each project will be different depending on those circumstances.

The Capital Programme also provides for devolved funding for additional classrooms, including accommodation for pupils with special educational needs, if required, for schools where an immediate enrolment need, has been identified or where an additional teacher has been appointed. Details of schools listed on this programme can be found on my Department's website www.education.ieand this information is also updated regularly.
