165. Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Minister for Education and Skills when a school (details supplied) will be supplied with a new ASD unit; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17235/19]

I can confirm to the Deputy that the school in question has submitted an application, to my Department, for capital funding under the 'Additional School Accommodation Scheme'.

The application is currently under assessment, as soon as this process has been completed my Department will be in direct contact with the school authority.
