191 Mr. Flanagan asked the Minister for Education the present position regarding an application for grant aid towards the carrying out of remedial works at a school (details supplied) in County Offaly; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
My Department's local technical advisers have been requested to report on the proposed improvement works to the school in question. When this report is received and considered a decision on grant-aid will be conveyed to the school management.
192 Mr. E. O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Education if she will grant funds for the building of a new classroom for a national school (details supplied) in County Cork; the total grant that would be allowable for this purpose.
My Department has approved a grant towards the cost of the provision of a one classroom extension to the school referred to by the Deputy. The amount of grant will be based on 85 per cent of the final cost.
193 Mr. E. O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Education the up-to-date position regarding the development at a national school (details supplied) in County Cork; and the reason for the delay in sanctioning a capital grant.
My Department has approved building proposals submitted by the board of management of the school referred to by the Deputy.
The board has been requested to submit detailed architectural plans for examination by the Department.
It was not possible to proceed with this project earlier as it was not among those projects which were considered of the highest priority.
