An application for additional accommodation has been received from the management authority of the school mentioned by the Deputy. The application is being examined in the school planning section of my Department. This process involves consideration of all relevant factors, including enrolment and demographic trends in the area and the capacity of any other schools in the area to meet the anticipated demand. When these issues have been fully considered by my Department a decision will be taken on how best to provide for the school's long-term accommodation needs. The application will then be progressed in the context of the school building and modernisation programme 2005-09.
