I wish to clarify for the Deputy that Longford Westmeath Education and Training Board has applied to my Department for funding to purchase land adjacent to the school in question.

I also note that an application for additional schools accommodation has been submitted for this school recently. My Department will consider both requests collectively and a decision will be conveyed to the Education Training Board subsequently.
