View answerThe accommodation needs of the school in question are under consideration by the School Planning Section of the Department. In order to ensure that the appropriate level of accommodation is provided, officials in the Department recently visited the school and carried out a technical inspection of the existing facilities. Department Officials are now reassessing the long-term projected staffing figure on which accommodation needs will be based. When this figure has been determined it will be considered, with the technical report on the school building, with a view to making an informed decision on how best to deliver the required accommodation.
