371 Dr. Fitzpatrick asked the Minister for Education and Science her plans to provide much needed accommodation for a school (details supplied) in Dublin 7; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [13990/06]

Officials in the school planning section of my Department met recently with the owners of the building in which the school referred to by the Deputy is currently located. The owners of the building have agreed that they will be in a position to accommodate the school for a further year.

Officials in my Department continue to explore other options for the long-term accommodation of the school. The difficulty, however, of obtaining a suitable site or building in the area in which the school is located cannot be underestimated.
