[36805/13]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that my Department is in regular communication with the school to which he refers regarding the school's accommodation needs. I am pleased to confirm to the Deputy that my Department has approved additional temporary accommodation for September 2013 to accommodate the school's increasing enrolments. In respect of the school's longer term needs, I understand that the school authority is endeavouring to identify suitable alternative accommodation. My Department will continue to liaise with the school in this regard.
