591 Mr. Yates asked the Minister for Education and Science if his attention has been drawn to the urgent need for additional accommodation at a national school (details supplied) in County Wexford; the reason the school was notified that the project was being deferred indefinitely; when this additional accommodation will be provided; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17159/01]

My Department has received an application from the management authorities of the school referred to by the Deputy for grant-aid towards additional accommodation.

It is not possible at this stage to indicate the time frame for the provision of the accommodation.
