80 Deputy Noel Ahern asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Education and Skills if she will provide an update on plans to construct a school hall at a school (details supplied) in Dublin 9; if approval for same has been granted; the cost estimation for same; if provision is included in 2010 finances; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35667/10]

My Department has no record of receiving an application from the school to which the Deputy refers for capital funding to construct a school hall. However, I have arranged for an application form to be furnished to the school for completion. Any application received will be considered in the context of the capital budget available to my Department for school buildings generally.
