View answerI wish to clarify for the Deputy that Longford Westmeath Education and Training Board has applied to my Department for funding to purchase land adjacent to the school in question.
I also note that an application for additional schools accommodation has been submitted for this school recently. My Department will consider both requests collectively and a decision will be conveyed to the Education Training Board subsequently.
