Deputy Pat The Cope Gallagher asked the Minister for Education and Skills the reason an application for an extension for a school (details supplied) in County Donegal has twice been refused for a resource room and ancillary works; if his attention has been drawn to the need for this extension at this school; his plans to approve same without further delay; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Education and Skills

I can confirm to the Deputy that an application was received in my Department, from the school referred to, for the provision of additional accommodation.  I can confirm that the application was not approved for funding on the basis of sufficient accommodation being available to the school in question.
