I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department received an application for the provision of additional accommodation at the school referred to in respect of both classroom and ancillary accommodation.
The application was processed and, having regard to the demographic information available for the school planning area within which the school in question is located, it was determined that there was sufficient capacity within the school planning area to meet the demand for primary school places. In that regard the application was not approved.
My Department recently received a request for a review of the application from the school and this is currently being considered. My Department will be in further contact with the school on the matter.
