941 Mr. McEllistrim asked the Minister for Education and Science when a technical inspection will be carried out at a school (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [15211/07]

An application for capital funding towards the provision of an extension at the school to which the Deputy refers was received and assessed. The long term projected staffing, on which the future accommodation needs of the school will be based, has been determined and notified to the school authority.

In order to determine how best to provide for the school's accommodation needs into the future, it will be necessary to have a technical assessment of existing buildings carried out. Officials from the Department will be in contact with the school authority to arrange a date as soon as this is feasible.
