An application for capital funding towards the provision of an extension has been received from the school authority referred to by the Deputy. An assessment of projected enrolment trends, demographic trends and housing developments in the area will be required in order to determine the long term projected enrolment figure on which the school's accommodation needs will be based.

Once the long term projection has been determined and agreed with the school authorities the required building project will be considered on an ongoing basis in the context of my Department's multi annual School Building and Modernisation programme.
