Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 October 2004
115 Mr. J. Breen asked the Minister for Education and Science if she will honour commitments made in 1987 to a school (details supplied) in County Clare; if approval for a temporary classroom will be given; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [24714/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am not aware of the commitment referred to by the Deputy. In regard to the temporary accommodation, the position is that details of a streamlined application process for schools requiring temporary school accommodation for September 2005 were published recently. The closing date for receipt of completed applications is 5 November 2004.
The streamlining of the application process for temporary accommodation will ensure that schools which are being allocated funding for accommodation for the start of the school year 2005-6 are enabled to provide it in a timely and appropriate manner. An application has recently been received from the management authority of the school to which the Deputy refers and will be considered by reference to the criteria outlined in the published document.
