Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 March 2016
481. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Education and Skills if she is aware of the cramped and inadequate facilities at a school (details supplied) in Cork City shared by children as young as three years of age and as old as 18 years of age; if she will expand the facilities on the site or move the school to new accommodation; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [5083/16]
View answerI can confirm to the Deputy that my Department approved funding last year for the school in question to allow them to provide additional accommodation to meet their accommodation requirements. At present, my Department has not received any further applications from the school referred to by the Deputy for additional accommodation. My Department expects to be in contact with the school in question in the near future in relation to its long-term accommodation requirements.
