866 Mr. J. Breen asked the Minister for Education and Science if she will sanction an extension to a school (details supplied) in County Clare where overcrowding in the classrooms is now chronic; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [10113/07]

There are no applications on hand for major capital funding from the school referred to by the Deputy. Should the school authority wish to apply for funding for an extension they are advised to complete an application form (Form FLE) which is available on the Department's website at www.education.ie. This application should be submitted to School Planning Section of the Department for consideration.
