476. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if approval for schools to build additional classrooms, to cater for planned increases in teacher numbers, in September 2015 has been notified to schools, and if not, when her Department plans on doing so; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I wish to advise the Deputy that it is open to schools to submit applications for funding under my Department's Additional Accommodation Scheme to meet an immediate accommodation requirement because of increased enrolments and where an additional teacher is being appointed. The relevant application form concerned may be accessed on my Department's website at www.education.ie.

Details of approved applications are notified directly to schools and may be viewed also on my Department's website at www.education.ie which is updated regularly throughout the year.
