187. Deputy Seán Barrett asked the Minister for Education and Skills when construction of a new school building for a school (details supplied) is due to commence; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26370/18]

The Deputy will be aware that a building project for the school in question is included in my Department's 6 Year Construction Programme.

In this regard, my Department is currently engaging with the Education Training Board in the context of progressing a building project for the school and will keep the school patron informed of progress.
