Following sanction of a grant by the Department of Education in January 1984 towards the cost of the extension to Lissivigeen national school, County Kerry, the manager of the school informed the Office of Public Works that the site proposed for the septic tank was no longer available. It was necessary to prepare revised proposals for sewerage before the case could be submitted for local authority approval.
The manager of the school was given the necessary plans in February 1984 and final planning approval was received by the Office of Public Works in July 1984, following further changes in the sewerage arrangements. Because of the large number of cases at various stages of planning it will not be possible to commence the preparation of working drawings for the project for a number of months.
