Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 November 2020
517. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Education the reason an application under the schools capital appraisal scheme by a school (details supplied) in Dublin 11 has been refused; if the decision will be reviewed; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [36737/20]
View answerI can confirm to the Deputy that my Department received an application, from the school in question, for consideration under the Additional School Accommodation Scheme. On completion of the assessment process, it was determined that the school had sufficient permanent accommodation on site to cater for their existing staffing co-hort.
The school authority recently appealed this decision and provided further information, which is under review. In this regard officials from my Department are currently communicating with the school authority in order to progress the matter.
