My Department has received an application from the management authorities at Carysfort national school, Arklow, County Wicklow, for grant aid towards an extension.
In view of the large number of school building projects currently being processed by my Department and the priority to be afforded to such projects, it is not possible at this point to provide a timeframe for the commencement of architectural planning for an extension at this school. Officials of my Department recently met with the school authorities and consideration is now been given to the provision of temporary accommodation in order to alleviate some of the accommodation difficulties at the school. The school authorities will be kept informed of developments.
