The application for grant-aid from the school referred to in the details supplied is one of a large number being processed by my Department's building unit.
My Department has completed an assessment of the long-term enrolment projections for the school which will assist in determining the level of accommodation warranted. A technical inspection of the school building has also been completed.
The case will continue to be dealt with as quickly as possible and the school authorities will be kept informed of developments.
