Vol. 518 No. 2
160 Mr. Timmins asked the Minister for Education and Science if he has received proposals from a school (details supplied) in County Wicklow for a general purpose room, a computer room, a parent room for home-school liasion and a proper library in view of the fact a converted cloakroom serves as a remedial room and library; the position with regard to its application; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11330/00]
The application for additional accommodation by the school referred to by the Deputy is being processed by my Department and will be dealt with as quickly as possible having regard to the large volume of building projects in hand at present.
As with all applications involving the construction of extra facilities, my Department will have to determine in the first instance the long-term viability of the school and the consequent accommodation requirements. When this assessment has been completed, the school authorities will be contacted immediately.
