Ms Hanafin Ms Hanafin

  Ms Hanafin: The school referred to by the Deputy has made an application for a new school building. As part of the assessment of this application, officials in the school planning section are carrying out an overall review of all-Irish provision at primary level in the area concerned. This review will take into account current and future demographics, planned housing developments and the likely demand for all-Irish primary education in the area in the future. It will also take account of the most cost effective manner in which this can be delivered. The outcome of this review, which will be carried out as quickly as possible, will inform a decision on the school’s application for capital grant aid.
