No application for additional accommodation has been received from St. Theresa's national school. However, the planning and building unit of my Department is examining an application from the school for improvement works. It is open to St. Theresa's to apply for additional accommodation where it considers this will be required in the long term. Any such application will be considered in light of the school's projected enrolments.
