An application for an extension has been received from the school to which the Deputy refers. An assessment of the long term projected staffing, on which the schools accommodation needs are based is currently underway in the Department. This assessment will take into account factors such as current and projected enrolment, demographic trends and housing developments. Once this assessment is complete, the building project required to meet the schools long term accommodation needs will be considered in the context of the School Building and Modernisation Programme. The school has also submitted an application for funding under the Permanent Accommodation Scheme 2007. All applications received under this scheme are under consideration and the list of successful applicants will be published shortly.
