409. Deputy Michael McCarthy asked the Minister for Education and Skills if additional accommodation works will be provided for a school (details supplied) in County Cork; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1859/16]

My Department has no record of receiving an application for additional accommodation from the school to which the Deputy refers. It is open to the school authorities to make an application should an additional mainstream class teacher be approved and subject to no accommodation being available within the school currently for this purpose.
