I can confirm to the Deputy, that my Department is in receipt of an application for the Additional School Accommodation (ASA) scheme, from the school in question.

The school authorities were recently contacted with a provisional offer of accommodation under the ASA scheme, which includes provision for further special class accommodation. This offer is under consideration by the school authorities currently. My officials will remain in contact with the school and the patron in relation to this application and any issues they may have.
