An application for capital funding towards the provision of an extension has been received from the school referred to by the Deputy.

The Department is carrying out an examination of the overall accommodation needs of the school, which includes factors such as current and projected enrolments, on-going and planned housing developments in the area. As soon as this examination is completed a decision will be made on the appropriate level of accommodation to be provided and the project will be considered in the context of the School Building and Modernisation Programme.
