Eamon Gilmore
Question:247 Mr. Gilmore asked the Minister for Education the reason she has refused to sanction the appointment of a full-time caretaker to the 540 pupil, 19 teacher primary school, Our Lady of Good Counsel Girls School, Johnstown, Dún Laoghaire, County Dublin, following the retirement on 5 November of the previous full-time caretaker; if her attention has been drawn to the fact that the £7,500 caretaker grant which she has made available to the school will not be sufficient to employ a full-time caretaker; her views on whether the school needs a full-time caretaker; the steps, if any, she plans to take to ensure that the school may have a full-time caretaker; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
