Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 20 July 2016
138. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Education and Skills the extent to which his Department can assist the school authorities at Newtown, Enfield, County Kildare, in the provision of extra enhanced and upgraded accommodation, having particular reference to the availability of extra space; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23111/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraI wish to advise the Deputy that the school in question contacted my Department in March 2015 regarding its accommodation. My Department subsequently provided the school with an application form. To date, my Department has no record of receiving a completed application form and a further communication issued to the school. Any application received will be assessed in the context of current competing priorities and the need to prioritise available funding for essential classroom accommodation where additional teachers are being appointed.
