Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department received an application from the school referred to for the provision of additional accommodation. The application was assessed by my Department and it was determined that there was no deficit of essential accommodation at the school. This decision was advised to the school authority.

My Department recently received a request from the school for a review of the application and this is currently being considered. My Department will be in further contact with the school when the review has been completed.
