Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 23 March 2017
86. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Education and Skills to outline the status of an application for additional accommodation by a school (details supplied); when the funding will be made available; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14658/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy is aware, the school in question has submitted an application to my Department, for capital funding for additional school accommodation. The application is being considered in the context of the very significant challenges facing my Department in prioritising available capital funding for essential mainstream classrooms to meet the demand for extra school places and in cases where additional teachers have been appointed.
A decision will be conveyed to the school authority as soon as the assessment process has been completed.
