I wish to confirm that an application for funding, as referred to by the Deputy, has been received from the school in question.

On foot of this application, a Departmental inspector visited the school and discussed the school requirements with the Principal and relevant teachers.

Following on from this visit, my Department's inspector has been in correspondence with the school seeking their further views. My Department will be in a position to consider the school's application further when the school authorities response to the correspondence concerned is received.
