I propose to take Questions Nos. 875, 877 and 878 together.
A number of applications for improvement works have been received from the management of St. Brigid's national school, Glasnevin, Dublin 11. They are currently under consideration and my Department will be in contact with the board of management shortly.
My Department has no record of receiving an application for accommodation for a special needs student. If an application is received, it will be considered.
