An application in respect of additional accommodation has been received in respect of the school referred to by the Deputy.

As the Deputy will appreciate, in view of the financial constraints within which my Department is operating, the position is that priority is being given to school applications for essential mainstream classroom accommodation. In the circumstances, my Department is satisfied, having considered the application submitted, that the school in question has sufficient accommodation to meet its needs and this has been outlined in detail to the school.
