Durkan asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will provide the necessary temporary accommodation at a school (details supplied) in County Kildare to accommodate the extra 30 students anticipated for 30 September 2010 enrolment which are in excess of the normal expectation thereby creating a further place requirement for 30 students; if his attention has been drawn to the situation; the degree to which he has responded or will respond; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Education and Science (Deputy Batt O’Keeffe)

I can confirm that the school to which the Deputy refers recently applied to my Department for temporary accommodation to cater for increasing enrolments.

This application is being assessed and a decision will issue to the school authority in due course.
