The school to which the Deputy refers has not informed the school planning section of my Department that its pre-enrolment list is oversubscribed for 2006-07 school year.
If this is the case, it will be open to the school authority to apply under the temporary accommodation scheme for the 2006-07 school year when it is announced.
In the Dublin 24 area generally, a project to increase the capacity at Ballycragh national school to 24 classrooms is one of a number of projects which I recently announced to progress through the architectural planning process. In addition to this, the school has received sanction for temporary accommodation to meet its immediate needs.
Also, a site for primary school purposes has been reserved in the Ballycullen area. A decision on the provision of a new school in Ballycullen will involve further consultations with the local authority regarding the likely timescale for the delivery of housing developments together with an ongoing assessment of the capacity of existing schools in the area to meet anticipated demand.
