526. Deputy Olivia Mitchell asked the Minister for Education and Skills if a school (details supplied) is on the list of building projects to proceed to construction between 2016 and 2021; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [42733/15]

I wish to advise the Deputy that the building project for the school to which she refers was previously included in my Department's 2015 Construction Plan. It was not therefore necessary to re-announce the project on the 2016-2021 Construction Programme.

A site for the new school was recently acquired and architectural planning for the development has now commenced. It is my Department's intention that the project will proceed to tender and construction at the earliest possible opportunity.
