Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 May 2015
529. Deputy Michelle Mulherin asked the Minister for Education and Skills the reason a school (details supplied) in County Mayo has been refused funding by way of a devolved grant, notwithstanding the serious accommodation deficit; the appeal options that are available to the school; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [18148/15]
View answerMy Department has been in direct contact with the school, in question, and has explained that it considers the school has sufficient accommodation to meet its current needs. As the Deputy will appreciate, in view of the financial constraints within which my Department is operating, the position is that priority is being given to school applications for essential mainstream classroom accommodation.
