187. Deputy Terence Flanagan asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of an application for temporary classroom accommodation by a school (details supplied) in County Dublin; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [44484/15]

I can confirm that the school referred to by the Deputy was approved devolved funding earlier this year for the provision of 2 mainstream classrooms to meet its 2015/16 accommodation needs.

The school has since contacted my Department to request provision of interim temporary accommodation for 1 mainstream class until the devolved permanent accommodation project is complete. The school's application for temporary accommodation has been examined and the Department is satisfied that the level of school accommodation is adequate to cater for the teaching requirements of the school until the devolved permanent extension is complete, particularly in the context of the short term temporary nature of the arrangements in place.
