Minister for Education and Skills

I wish to advise the Deputy that the position in relation to the application by the school referred to is that due to competing demands on my Department’s capital budget imposed by the need to prioritise the limited funding available for the provision of essential classroom accommodation it is not possible to fund the provision of a General Purpose Room at this time.
