477 Mr. Connaughton asked the Minister for Education and Science if her attention has been drawn to the overcrowding at a school (details supplied) in County Galway; if her attention has further been drawn to the fact that the school board has made repeated applications for an extension since 1999; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerAn application for capital funding towards the provision of an extension has been received from the school referred to by the Deputy.
The assessment of the long-term projected staffing, on which the schools accommodation needs are based is being finalised at present. Once the long-term projection has been determined and agreed with the school authorities the building project will be considered in the context of the multiannual School Building and Modernisation programme.
