1197. Deputy Brian Walsh asked the Minister for Education and Skills if a primary school (details supplied) in County Galway will be provided with resources to construct a special-needs education room; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30451/15]

I wish to advise the Deputy that the school in question applied to my Department for funding towards the provision of an additional special education teaching room.

My Department has advised the school that the space sought can be provided through reconfiguring existing accommodation. My Department considers that the provision of additional accommodation is therefore not required.
