Minister for Education (Ms Bhreathnach)

My Department is aware of the situation at St. Joseph's national school.

The Office of Public Works office in Sligo has been working on plans for improvements to St. Joseph's national school, Killenumnery, Dromahair, County Leitrim. However, before the plans were finalised additional works were sought by the school. I understand from the Office of Public Works that the revised plans are almost completed and they will be sent to the school shortly. It is planned to carry out the necessary works during the summer.
