The accommodation needs of the school in question are under consideration by the School Planning Section of my Department. In order to ensure that the appropriate level of accommodation is provided, officials in School Planning Section are currently reassessing the long-term projected staffing figure on which accommodation needs will be based. Once this figure has been determined, it will used in conjunction with information gathered on a recent technical visit to the school, with a view to making an informed decision on how best to deliver the required accommodation.

An application for capital funding towards the provision of an extension has been received from the school and 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. Officials from School Planning Section will be in contact with the school authority to arrange such a visit.
