Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 May 2016
313. Deputy John Brassil asked the Minister for Education and Skills to ensure that the application for full planning permission for a school (details supplied) would reflect the current demand of enrolment, that is a nine-classroom rather than an eight-classroom extension. [10320/16]
View answerThe Deputy will be aware that a building project for the school to which he refers was included in my Department's 6 Year Capital Programme which was announced last November.
My Department's main responsibility is to ensure that schools in an area can, between them, cater for all pupils seeking places. In this regard, my Department is currently reviewing the demographic demand in the area serviced by the school referred to. This review will advise on the appropriate level of accommodation required for the proposed building project.
