The school referred to by the Deputy has made an application for capital funding towards the provision of additional classroom and ancillary accommodation. Enrolments at the school have increased in recent years and therefore the school is not suitable for delivery under the small schools initiative. As result of the increasing enrolments it is necessary to re-examine the school's long-term accommodation requirements. This process is under way and the school authority will be consulted in this regard. The project is being considered in the context of the school building and modernisation programme 2005-09.
