236. Deputy Ciarán Lynch asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of an application for replacement windows and other improvements to a school (details supplied) in County Cork; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [43225/15]

As the Deputy is aware, I announced details on 17th November last, of the major school building projects that are scheduled to proceed to construction over the next six years, as part of the Government's €2.8 billion capital investment programme. A project for the school in question is listed in this announcement to proceed to construction in 2018.

The school in question has recently applied to my Department for funding towards addressing immediate accommodation needs. The application concerned is currently being considered and my Department will be in contact with the school as soon as the assessment process has been concluded.
