My Department grant aids the rental of temporary accommodation in respect of primary schools requiring interim accommodation to cater for emergencies such as temporary peaking enrolments, additional staffing allocations resulting from improved PTR and resource teaching posts or which are awaiting the provision of permanent accommodation. Formal application for such grant aid should be made to my Department on the appropriate form, which is available from the planning section of my Department.
I understand that an application for rental grant aid has not been received in my Department in respect of St. Cordan's primary school. Any such application from the school will be fully considered in the planning section of my Department and a decision notified to the school authorities as soon as possible.
