Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 July 2018
278. Deputy Paul Kehoe asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of an application by a school (details supplied) for a classroom extension; the contact that has been had with the school; and if his attention has been drawn to the increasing pupil numbers in the school. [31028/18]
View answerI can confirm to the Deputy that the school in question recently wrote to my Department advising that it expects enrolments to increase in the coming academic year 2018/2019.
My Department contacted the school and advised the principal that should the enrolment increase to a level that would warrant the appointment of an additional teacher, it is then open to the school to re-activate its application for additional accommodation, should the school's existing accommodation not be capable of accommodating the additional teacher.
