I wish to confirm to the Deputy that major capital funding was approved for CBS National School in Ennis, County Clare to cater for a school comprised of a Principal and 24 mainstream teachers and a 2 Classroom Special Educational Unit.  The project was completed in 2019.

The Deputy may be aware of the very significant school building programme that is currently underway.  Overall, there are in excess of 1,300 school building projects at various stages of design, planning, and construction. The current status of approved projects and those projects already completed under the school building programme is listed on a county by county basis on my Department's website at www.gov.ie and is regularly updated.
