I wish to confirm to the Deputy that the school in question has submitted an application to my Department for capital funding for additional school accommodation. The application will be assessed and a decision will be conveyed to the school authority as soon as the assessment process has been completed. 

The Deputy will be aware that my Department provided significant funding to the school in 2015 to construct four classrooms and the building project is now nearing completion. In addition, my Department approved grant to the school earlier this year to construct a Home Economics Room.
