193 Mr. Stagg asked the Minister for Education and Science if her attention has been drawn to the serious problem with accommodation at a school (details supplied) in County Kildare; the reason she did not include this school in her allocation of temporary accommodation; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [7356/05]

Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

The school to which the Deputy refers did not apply to my Department for temporary accommodation for the 2005-06 school year nor has my Department any record of a current application for additional permanent accommodation. If the school authority has concerns about its accommodation, it should make contact with the school planning section of my Department for advice.
