My Department has recently sanctioned the provision of two prefabricated classrooms to solve the immediate accommodation needs of Pope John Paul II national school, Malahide, County Dublin.
The question of providing additional accommodation will be kept under review in my Department with the possibility of a permanent extension being considered in the light of future capital allocations.
