Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 March 2014
337. Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding an application for additional permanent accommodation at a school (details supplied) in County Cork; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13415/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe school to which the Deputy refers made an application to my Department in November 2013 for the provision of ancillary accommodation. Given the current financial constraints within which my Department is operating, the position is that priority is being given to school applications for essential mainstream classroom and special education accommodation. In that context, the appliciation was assessed and the school were advised that the application was not sucessful. The school has recently appealed the decison. The matter is being reviewed and the outcome of that review will be conveyed to the school authorities shortly.
