View answerI am pleased to advise the Deputy that funding for the provision of four mainstream classrooms has been approved by my Department to cater for increased pupil growth in the area to which he refers. This funding will facilitate extensions at St Laurence's and St Patrick's National Schools. This is in addition to the 15 additional classrooms that will be in place in Greystones following completion of the building project being provided under my Department's Rapid Delivery Programme for 2013.My Department is continuing to monitor enrolments in the area, referred to by the Deputy, to ensure that there is sufficent school accommodation to meet any projected future demands.Information in respect of all assessed applications for devolved funding is available on my Department's website www.education.ie.
