Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 1 June 2016
108. Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will sanction a 12th classroom to facilitate a school's (details supplied) enrolment figures; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13929/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraI wish to advise the Deputy that the school to which he refers has been allocated funding under my Department's Additional Accommodation Scheme to provide an additional mainstream classroom and accommodation for an ASD class. The final approval letter issued on 17th May last.
Subsequently, my Department received an appeal from the school referred to, seeking approval for the provision of further classroom accommodation. The appeal is currently under consideration and a decision will be conveyed to the school authority as soon as this process is finalised.
