Question:

549 Mr. Connaughton asked the Minister for Education and Science the position regarding an application from the board of management of St. Cronan's National School, Kiltiernan, Kilcolgan, County Galway, to build three new classrooms and other changes to the school; and if his attention has been drawn to the increase in pupils attending the school and the resultant lack of facilities. [16699/01]

Minister for Education and Science (Dr. Woods)

In view of the very large number of school building projects being dealt with by my Department at present and the priority to be afforded to such projects, it is not possible at this point to provide a time-scale as to when additional permanent accommodation will be provided at the school referred to by the Deputy. The matter will be kept under review.
