Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

My Department has approved the provision of additional temporary accommodation for 2019/2020 for the school referred to by the Deputy at its current location and the initial approval letter issued to the school authorities in November 2018. My Department now awaits documentation from the school authorities in order to progress this matter further.
