The extension project for the school referred to by the Deputy is under review in the school planning section of my Department. Before committing significant capital resources at the school a review of the long-term projected enrolment on which the extent of accommodation is determined is under way. As part of this review factors considered are current and projected pupil numbers at the school, the likely impact of housing developments and existing provision in the general area. A decision will then be taken on how best to provide for current and emerging needs. My officials will be in correspondence with the school authority in this regard.
The Deputy will be pleased to know that school's application for grant aid under the summer works scheme 2006 for the upgrade of the home economics room was successful.
