I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department has no current record of receiving an application, for capital funding, from the school in question. 

Schools which identify that they have a shortfall in accommodation may apply for funding under my Department's Additional School Accommodation Scheme (ASA).  The application form and information relating to this scheme are available on my Department's website www.education.ie.

The purpose of the scheme is to ensure that essential classroom accommodation is available to cater for pupils enrolled each year and where the need cannot be met by the school’s existing accommodation.
