I understand the school referred to by the Deputy is Scoil Mhuire, Clarinbridge, County Galway. An application for capital funding towards the provision of additional classroom and ancillary accommodation has been received in my Department. My officials are nearing completion of an examination of the overall accommodation needs of the school in light of projected enrolments for the coming years and will be in contact with the school authority in this regard. When this is finalised a decision will be made on how best to provide for the school's long term accommodation requirements.
