In 1986 my Department agreed in principle to an extension at Clonlisk national school, Shinrone, Birr, County Offaly consisting of three new classrooms and the conversion of the existing school into a general purposes room.
However, it was not possible for this scheme to proceed because of the capital outlay which would have been involved. The question of the project's proceeding on a modified basis is being considered in the context of the available capital and a decision will be conveyed to the school authorities as early as possible.
