asked the Minister for Education if sanction has been given for the erection of a new school at Killea, Dunmore East, County Waterford, and if moneys will be provided in the financial year 1972-73 for its erection; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
With your permission a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 31 and 32 together.
It is not proposed to carry out a scheme of improvements to the existing Killea national school in the present financial year.
A grant has been sanctioned towards the cost of a new school at Killea and the case has been accorded priority in the financial year 1972-73.
Is the Minister aware that at the moment very young children have to cross a road to go to the toilet? This is a hazard to their safety and should be rectified immediately.
I am making provision for very early priority in 1972-73 for a new school.
