Question:86 Mr. Andrews asked the Minister for Education if she will sanction improvements to St. Joseph's primary school, Tivoli Road, Dún Laoghaire, County Dublin, as a matter of urgency.
Written Answers. - Dún Laoghaire (Dublin) Primary School.
My Department has approved a scheme of improvements to St. Joseph's National School, Tivoli Road, Dún Laoghaire, County Dublin, viz. provision of a new toilet block, double doors and screens, a smoke detector and works to windows and PE equipment. Tender documents were sent to the school authorities in January 1990 to enable them to invite tenders and secure planning permission for the works. When the tenders and planning permission have been received there will be no delay in authorising the school authorities to proceed with the works.
The school authorities have requested grant aid for the provision of a room for ancillary purposes and the complete replacement of the windows. This is being considered in the context of the available capital and the large number of national school building projects on hand. A decision will be conveyed to the school authorities in regard to these additional items as early as possible.
