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 additional accommodation to meet their anticipated need in September 2010.

The application is currently being assessed in my Department. A decision will issue to the school in question once the assessment of its application has been completed.
