I can confirm to the Deputy that the Board of Management of the school to which he refers has agreed the long term projected enrolment for its school which is based on the projected demographics for the area. It is a matter for the Board of Management to move to acquire any additional land required to cater for its proposed extension project. When this has been done, the building project can be advanced. In the meantime, approval has been given to the school authority for the rental of a prefabricated classroom to meet its accommodation needs for September, 2007.
