An application for an extension has been received in the Department from the school to which the Deputy refers.

A re-assessment of projected enrolments, demographic trends and housing developments in the area is currently under way. This will assist in determining the long term projected staffing for the school, on which the school's long term accommodation needs will be based. Once the long term projection is finalised and agreed with the school authorities the Department will draw up schedules of accommodation and the project will be progressed in the context of the multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.
