Vol. 429 No. 6

Written Answers. - Funding for School Equipment.

Seán Power

Question:

321 Mr. Power asked the Minister for Education if she will make financial assistance available to St. Mary's Secondary School, Convent of Mercy, Naas, County Kildare towards the provision of equipment for the new sports hall; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

As the sports hall in question was erected without any prior agreement with my Department on grant aid, any assistance at this stage would be in the nature of a retrospective grant. In view of the many other demands on the resources available, my Department is not in a position to approve a grant for the provision of equipment for the sports hall.

Dinny McGinley

Question:

322 D'fhiafraigh Mr. McGinley den Aire Oideachais an bhfuil aon socrú idir a Roinn agus na Coláistí Oiliúna ag cur céatadán cinnte ionaid sna Coláistí sin in áirithe do mhicléinn Gaeltachta.

Is í an fhoráil speisialta atá ag mo Roinnse d'iarrthóirí ón nGaeltacht ag dul isteach sna Coláistí Oideachais do bhun-mhúinteoirí ná go bhféadfar suas go dtí a deich faoin gcéad de na háiteanna a chur i leataobh le haghaidh iarrthóirí a bhfuil cónaíorthu sa Ghaeltacht a aithnítear go hoifigiúil agus a bhfuil an Ghaeilge mar ghnáth-theanga bhaile acu.

Tá iarrtha ag mo Roinnse ar údaráis na gColáistí Oideachais socruithe cuí a dhéanamh chun a chinntiú go líonfar na háiteanna speisialta Gaeltachta úd i 1993 ar dtús sa chéad bhabhta tairiscintí.
