asked the Minister for Education if he will state the present position regarding the provision of additional accommodation for children attending Clogherinkoe National School, County Kildare.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Clogherinkoe National School.
The question of the feasibility of erecting an additional classroom at Clogherinkoe National School, County Kildare, has been investigated, but I am advised that there are certain difficulties in the way of the extension of the school. The matter is receiving active attention.
I am advised that the old school adjoining the present school site could be utilised to accommodate some of the pupils, as a temporary arrangement, if some minor works were carried out to the building. My Department has sanctioned a grant towards the cost of these works.
Would the Parliamentary Secretary say what the amount of the grant is?
Mr. Lynch
I do not know whether I have the Minister's authority to disclose that. I think I can assure the Deputy that it will not involve a Supplementary Budget.
I want to test the adequacy of the reconstruction work. Is it substantial?
Mr. Lynch
If the Deputy asks the Minister that question perhaps he will disclose the amount.
