In regard to Monreagh national school, the Department is examining the school application for improved accommodation. The Senator will appreciate that before committing major capital funding to any project, the Department must be satisfied, having regard to all relevant factors including enrolment and demographic trends, that Monreagh national school has a viable future, thereby ensuring value for money. When these issues have been fully investigated by the Department of Education and Science, a decision will issue to the school's management authority.
