Vol. 461 No. 3
78 Mr. Browne (Wexford) asked the Minister for Education the reason work required on a school (details supplied) in County Wexford, has not been carried out in spite of the fact that an agreement was reached between the school and her Department; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [2779/96]
Major improvement works have been carried out at this school over the past year. Further improvement works are necessary. My Department is currently reviewing its financial commitments to see what further works can be funded this year. When the review is completed, my Department will be in touch with the school.
79 Mr. Browne (Wexford) asked the Minister for Education when extra classroom space will be provided to a school (details supplied) in County Wexford. [2780/96]
I am not in a position to say when additional classroom space will be provided to the school in question. The school sought grant-aid for a one classroom extension. My Department offered the school a pre-fabricated classroom but this offer was not accepted. Given the number of priority cases on hands, I am not in a position to improve on the offer made.
80 Mr. H. Byrne asked the Minister for Education if her attention has been drawn to the fact that the roof at Ramsgrange national school, County Wexford which was built just 16 years ago is leaking; the works, if any, she proposes to carry out on the school; when these works will begin; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [2781/96]
I am pleased to inform you that a grant was sanctioned by my Department in December 1995, for the repair of the roof at Ramsgrange national school. This project will be overseen by the Office of Public Works.
The school authorities have been advised accordingly.
