Vol. 443 No. 4
70 Mr. Timmins asked the Minister for Education if her attention has been drawn to the fact that two new classrooms have been recommended for Portlaw boys national school, Portlaw, County Waterford, despite the fact that there is a necessity for at least four additional classrooms; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
The proposed accommodation brief for Portlaw national school includes provision for two new classrooms and, I am pleased to say, a general purposes room in line with my recent policy initiative in this area.
I am satisfied that this additional provision together with the existing facilities at the school will be fully adequate to meet the future accommodation needs of the school.
This project has been included in the national school capital programme and the architectural planning has been initiated.
