62. Deputy Mary Butler asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of an application for funding by a school (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14269/18]

Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

I can confirm to the Deputy that my Department received an application from the school in question for temporary classrooms to accommodate two additional teacher appointments in September 2018. My Department has recently conveyed approval in principle for this accommodation to the school. 

The school has also submitted an application for significant capital funding for major building works. The application will be considered and a decision will be conveyed to the school authority as soon as this process has been completed. The school principal has been advised of the position.
