Minister for Education and Skills

I propose to take Questions Nos. 238, 264 and 270 together.

I can confirm that a review of the temporary accommodation at the above school took place in July 2012 as per standard practice when the rental contract was due to expire. My Department advised the school at that time that rental grant aid would continue to be approved until June 2013. Correspondence in the matter has been received recently from the school. My Department will be in direct contact with the school authority when this correspondence has been assessed.
