Written answers

Tánaiste and Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Mary Coughlan)

I can confirm to the Deputy that the school to which he refers has applied to my Department for extra accommodation. All such applications are currently being assessed in my Department. A decision will issue to the school in question once the assessment of its application has been completed.
