asked the Minister for Education if she will approve a grant to erect a sports hall for the Christian Brothers secondary school, Tralee, County Kerry.
My Department understand that arrangements were made to proceed with the construction of a sports hall at the Christian Brothers secondary school in Tralee without the prior approval of the Department. As prior approval is a specific requirement under the building grants scheme for secondary schools a grant would not normally be payable in respect of the hall in question. However, the question of whether the particular circumstances of the case would warrant a retrospective grant is at present being considered and a decision will be taken in due course.
