Written Answers. - Schools Refurbishment.

Ivan Yates

Question:

146 Mr. Yates asked the Minister for Education and Science if a primary school (details supplied) in County Wexford will be included in the 1998 allocations for repairs in view of the very poor condition of the leaking roof and rotten windows; and if it will be given priority consideration in view of the fact that this is ongoing since 1995. [20726/97]

Minister for Education and Science (Mr. Martin)

The school referred to by the Deputy has applied for grant-aid for works to the roof and windows. The level of priority applications from schools far outstrips the available funding but the school in question will be considered in the light of the 1998 provision.
