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

It is open to the school authority to make an application for additional accommodation through the 'Additional School Accommodation scheme (ASA)' which is available at www.education.ie.

I can confirm to the Deputy that my Department is in receipt of an application for additional school accommodation from Killorglin Community College, County Kerry. Once the application has been assessed, the school authority will be contacted directly with a decision.
