Vol. 520 No. 2
180 Mr. Kenny asked the Minister for Education and Science if he has reviewed his decision on the provision of new school accommodation for St. Anthony's school, Castlebar, for special pupils; if he will approve a five classroom facility as originally proposed; if he has examined the appeal submitted by the school authorities; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15647/00]
The Deputy will appreciate that the extent of the permanent accommodation to be provided at any school is directly related to the number of students requiring the facilities in the long-term. My Department will have to be satisfied that the student enrolments at St. Anthony's school will warrant the additional accommodation sought.
A decision on the accommodation brief will be conveyed to the school management as soon as possible following consideration of all relevant information in the matter.
