I can confirm to the Deputy that the school in question recently wrote to my Department advising that it expects enrolments to increase in the coming academic year 2018/2019.
My Department contacted the school and advised the Principal that should enrolment increase to a level that would warrant the appointment of an additional teacher, it is then open to the school to submit an application for additional accommodation, under the Additional Accommodation Scheme, should the school's existing accommodation not be capable of accommodating the additional teacher. An application form can be accessed on www.education.gov.ie,
