Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 February 2019
198. Deputy John Brady asked the Minister for Education and Skills the grounds on which applications for additional accommodation are approved under the schools capital appraisal section; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4940/19]
View answerI can confirm to the Deputy that applications received under my Department’s Additional School Accommodation scheme are considered where an immediate long-term enrolment need has been identified and additional teacher(s) has been appointed and the school’s existing accommodation is not in a position to meet that need. In such cases, my Department would provide funding to a school for the necessary additional classroom(s).
