Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 5 July 2018
104. Deputy Paul Kehoe asked the Minister for Education and Skills if a school (details supplied) can reactivate an unsuccessful application for additional accommodation rather than making a new application; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29720/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraI 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 re-activate its application for additional accommodation, should the school's existing accommodation not be capable of accommodating the additional teacher.
