Ceist:

492 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Education and Science if she will prioritise an on-site technical assessment of needs of a school (details supplied) in County Mayo, in view of the present accommodation shortcomings of the school building and the fact that the accommodation does not conform to Department guidelines; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

The overall accommodation needs of the school are being examined in my Department in order to ensure that any capital funding being provided is appropriate to meet the school's long-term accommodation needs. When a decision is made on the appropriate level of accommodation to be provided a technical visit will then be arranged and the application will be considered further.
