Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 February 2014
202. Deputy Patrick O'Donovan asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding an application for additional school accommodation in respect of a school (details supplied) in County Limerick; when a decision is due to be reached; and the position regarding this Deputy's request for an official from the school buildings unit to visit the school before a decision is reached. [6428/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department is in receipt of an application for additional accommodation from the school to which the Deputy refers. This application is currently being assessed and a decision will be conveyed to the school authorities when this process has been finalised. The Deputy will appreciate that it is not possible to visit all schools who submit applications for additional accommodation to my Department. In this particular case, my Department is satisfied that it has sufficient information to make a decision in the matter and in that context a technical site visit is not required.
