I can confirm that the school referred to by the Deputy has submitted an application for additional accommodation.

My Department has discussed the matter with the school principal who has undertaken to submit additional information relating to the application. When this has been received and considered, a decision will be conveyed to the school authority.

I can confirm that my Department approved a grant for additional accommodation at the school in question in 2015. The school subsequently reverted to my Department seeking further accommodation on the basis of projected enrolments. The application concerned is currently being assessed and a decision will be conveyed to the school authority as soon as this process has been finalised.
