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

An assessment of the projected enrolment trends, demographic trends and the housing developments in the area will be required to determine the long term projected staffing figure on which the school's accommodation needs will be based. The proposed building project will be considered on an ongoing basis in the context of my Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.
