Because of the pressure on the capital available to my Department for the national schools buildings programme, I am not in a position to say when it may be possible to make an allocation for the building of a general purposes room at St. Brigid's national school, Kill, Cootehill, County Cavan. I note the Deputy's reference to conditions in this school, and have asked my Department's primary buildings branch to investigate the matter. If it be found that overcrowding is a problem, my Department's professional advisers will make recommendations as to what assistance could be offered to the school in this matter by way of short-term relief.
