Vol. 440 No. 4
392 Mr. H. Byrne asked the Minister for Education the date of an application for grants to her Department for £3,000 in respect of windows, £1,500 in respect of a pump and a burner and further amounts for new furniture at Ballyoughter national school, Gorey, County Wexford; the progress to date of the application; when these grants are likely to be paid; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
Grant in aid was approved for replacement windows in August 1988 for Ballyoughter national school, Gorey, County Wexford. The school authorities did not avail of the approved grant at that time. However my understanding is that the windows have since been replaced and my Department has informed the school authorities that a grant will be paid on receipt of certification of the work from my professional adviser.
Grant applications for pump and burner, and new furniture were received in my Department on 3 February 1994 and 17 February 1994 respectively. My Department will be conveying a decision on all grants to the school authorities at an early date.
