Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 2 June 2004
137 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Education and Science when he expects to be in a position to provide extra facilities urgently required at Scoil Chearbhaill Ui Dhalaigh, Leixlip, County Kildare; if new temporary prefabs will be provided in the current year to replace the existing ones; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe school planning section has considered all applications for temporary accommodation for 2004. A list of successful applicants has been published on my Department's website at www.education.ie. In the context of available funding and the number of applications for that funding, it was not possible to approve all applications received and only those with an absolute and demonstrated need for extra accommodation were approved. The application from Scoil Chearbhaill Ui Dhalaigh was not successful on this occasion because the provision of temporary accommodation to meet shortfalls was given a higher priority than the replacement of existing accommodation.
