1610 Mr. Collins asked the Minister for Education and Science the plans to extend, upgrade and improve a school (details supplied) in County Limerick; and if an application has been received by her Department in relation to same. [1850/07]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 1450 and 1610 together.

An application for capital funding has been received from the school authority referred to by the Deputy. A technical assessment of the proposed new site to accommodate a new build school will be completed shortly in order to determine its suitability for a new school.

If this proposed site is deemed suitable for a new school the building project will be progressed in the context of the School Building and Modernisation Programme.
