Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 29 March 2007
242 Mr. McHugh asked the Minister for Education and Science the position in relation to an application from a school (details supplied) in County Galway for additional accommodation and upgrading; the priority this project has in her Department; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [12229/07]
View answerAn application for an extension has been received from the school to which the Deputy refers. An assessment of projected enrolments, demographic trends and housing developments in the area, is currently underway in the Department which will assist in determining the long term projected enrolment for the school on which the school's long term accommodation needs will be based. When the longterm projected enrolment has been finalised and agreed with the school authorities the Department will draw up schedules of accommodation for the project which will be notified to the school management authority. The project will then be considered in the context of the multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.
