The chairman of the board of management of the school referred to has applied for a grant towards the cost of the provision of a block wall on the eastern side of the school. The usual boundary for a school is a post and wire fence and normally the provision of a block wall would not be grant-aided. However, a report on the matter from my Department's district professional advisers is awaited and when this is to hand a final decision will be taken by the Department and conveyed to the school authorities.
