Vol. 430 No. 3
165 Mr. Molloy asked the Minister for Education if her attention has been drawn to the condition of Portumna national school, County Galway; and the plans, if any, she has for a replacement school; and when sanction will be given.
I am fully aware of the conditions prevailing at Portumna national school. Architectural planning has been completed for a new central school to replace the existing boys' and girls' schools and the next step will be to finalise tender documentation. Because of other demands deemed to be of higher priority which had to take precedence it was not possible to include this project in the national school capital programme for 1993. It will continue to be considered for inclusion in due course in the light of available resources and other commitments and priorities.
