129. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if her Department has completed its analysis of the demographic trends in the catchment area of a school ( details supplied) in County Kildare; if that analysis supports the strong contention that additional second level places will need to be provided; if consideration is being given to an application by the school for additional classroom accommodation; if this project will be advanced through the devolved building programme; the timeframe within which her Department recognises the accommodation need that must be met; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The nationwide demographic analysis to determine where additional post-primary accommodation may be needed from 2016 onwards is a significant exercise and is still ongoing. When the exercise has been completed arrangements will be made to make additional accommodation available where it is needed. The content of a recent letter from the school in question is being considered in this context.

My Department has already approved a devolved grant to provide additional accommodation at the school to which the Deputy refers. The project is at an advanced stage and is nearing completion.
