Vol. 384 No. 5

Written Answers. - Mungret (County Limerick) School.

229.

asked the Minister for Education if her attention has been drawn to the serious shortage of classrooms in St. Nessan's national school, Mungret, County Limerick, where five new classrooms are required due to a combination of increasing numbers and the fact that two of the prefabricated classrooms are no longer fit for use; and if she will immediately authorise the building of the necessary new classrooms to avoid an impossible situation in September next.

241.

asked the Minister for Education if she has received representations concerning the provision of two extra rooms at St. Nessan's national school, Mungret, County Limerick, and if she will accede to this request.

248.

(Limerick East) asked the Minister for Education when her Department will provide extra accommodation at St. Nessan's national school, Mungret, County Limerick; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 229, 241 and 248 together.

My Department has agreed in principle to grant-aid an extension to Saint Nessan's national school, Mungret, County Limerick. Because, however, of the pressure on the capital available to my Department for its national schools building programme, I am not in a position to say when planning of the project may proceed.

My Department is at present awaiting a report from its local architectural advisers regarding an application from the school authorities for grant-aid towards the cost of improvements to the existing buildings. I am asking that the scope of inquiries should include the matters raised by the Deputies, and will arrange to have them informed of the outcome.
