Robert Dowds

Question:

117 Deputy Robert Dowds asked the Minister for Education and Skills if a school (details supplied) in Dublin 22 will be approved for two new classrooms in view of the fact that pupil numbers are projected to increase from 375 to 426 over the next two years; when a decision will issue, and his views on whether it would be more logical to build the two classrooms at the same time in view of the fact that it is too late for one to be ready for September 2011.

Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn)

The school to which the Deputy refers has applied to my Department seeking funding to provide additional accommodation. The application is being assessed. My Department will convey a decision on the application to the school authority when the assessment process has been completed.
