Minister for Education (Ms Bhreathnach)

An application for funding towards the provision of temporary accommodation at Avondale Community College, Rathdrum, has been submitted to my Department.

Officials from the planning and building unit of my Department are currently considering this application in terms of enrolment, future viability and cost implications.

County Wicklow vocational education committee will be notified when a decision has been reached.
