There are no special proposals currently with my Department for consideration for the provision of landscaping around the area of the Brookfield Primary School, Tallaght, County Dublin. It is understood from the Commissioners of Public Works, through whom arrangements for the placing of the contract for the construction of the school building at Brookfield were made, that the provision in regard to landscaping is that the contractor should grass and level all areas not to be covered by tarmac. It would be a matter for the school authorities themselves to make at local expense any further provision which they feel may be desirable.
