An application for capital funding towards the provision of an extension has been received from the school referred to by the Deputy. The application has been assessed and the long term projected staffing, on which the accommodation needs will be based, has been determined and notified to the school authority. In order to determine how best to provide for the school's accommodation needs into the future, it will be necessary to have a technical assessment of existing buildings carried out by my Department. Officials from the school planning section, who have recently met with the school authority, will be in further contact with the school authority in order to arrange a technical visit.
