Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 311 and 312 together.I can confirm that my Department has received an application from the school, referred to by the Deputy, for funding to provide alternative permanent accommodation to meet its long-term requirements. Officials from my Department will be in contact shortly with the school authorities to work through the details of their proposal and how best to meet the school's needs. In the interim, my Department has recently approved funding for classroom accommodation to meet the school's immediate needs. I can also confirm to the Deputy that funding amounting to €30,612.68 was allocated to the school under the 2005 Summer Works Scheme for roof works. In addition, my Department has also allocated funding to the school in question for furniture and equipment on an ongoing basis in response to requirements.
