Mr. Kenny
The floor surface, heating pipes and power points being provided in this room are in accordance with present standard practice. The work is at a very advanced stage and the changes requested would involve additional expenditure of the order of £1,000. I am having the matter further investigated in consultation with the Department of Education but I find it difficult to see how the charge on State funds of the extra cost could be justified.
