As the Deputy will be aware, the school to which she refers was granted provisional recognition from 1 September 2008 and is currently located in temporary accommodation. The provision of accommodation for a school with provisional recognition is a matter for the Patron and Board of Management in the first instance.

In April 2010, the school authorities submitted a proposal to my Department to relocate to a new site to meet the accommodation needs for an additional teaching post sanctioned on foot of increased enrolments from September 2010. My officials considered the proposal and have requested the school authority to review the costings of their proposal. My Department will consider any revised or new proposal that the school authority wishes to submit.
