Vol. 437 No. 3

Written Answers. - Physical Education Facilities.

Ivor Callely

Question:

118 Mr. Callely asked the Minister for Education her policy for school sports, physical education and the provision of facilities in post primary schools; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Due to the demands on the capital resources available, priority has been given for some time to the provision of essential teaching spaces in post-primary schools. As a result it is not possible in present circumstances to grant aid provision of physical education facilities at existing schools without such facilities. As indicated in the Green Paper, the policy of providing indoor sports accommodation in schools will resume as soon as pressure on available resources for urgent classroom accommodation has eased.
