All applications for temporary accommodation have been considered in the school planning section of my Department. In the context of the available funding and the number of applications for that funding, it was not possible to approve all applications received and only those with an absolute and demonstrated need for additional accommodation were approved. The application for a resource room in temporary accommodation at the school to which the Deputy refers was not successful on this occasion. The school authority has been advised accordingly.
