Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

I am pleased to advise the Deputy that the school to which he refers has been allocated funding under my Department's Additional Accommodation Scheme to provide an additional mainstream classroom and a Special Education Teaching (SET) classroom. The project approved is intended to provide the accommodation concerned in the most cost effective way. The final approval letter issued on the 17th May last.
