Tom Enright

Question:

195 Mr. Enright asked the Minister for Education if she has received a report from the architects in her Department regarding dry rot at the Christian Brothers post-primary school, Portlaoise, County Laois; if she will be in a position to approve grant-aid for this work; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Education (Mrs. O'Rourke):

An application for a grant towards the cost of extensive repairs has been received from the Christian Brothers secondary school, Portlaoise.

However, as the Deputy will be aware the question of rationalisation of the post-primary facilities in the Portlaoise area is under active discussions. Therefore no further action will be taken regarding this school's application until the above discussions are completed.
