I propose to take Questions Nos. 1660 and 1710 together.

An application for capital funding towards the provision of an extension at the school has been received from the school. Officials in the Department will carry out an examination of all the relevant factors such as current and projected enrolment, demographic trends and the likely impact of ongoing and proposed housing developments in the area with a view to determining the long term accommodation needs of the school. When this is finalised, the application will be considered for progression in the context of the School Building and Modernisation Programme.
