Question:

353 Ms O. Mitchell asked the Minister for Education and Science if a grant for replacement school buildings at a school (details supplied) in Dublin 14 will be made from the 1998 primary school building development fund in view of the fact that this school is an expanding one operating out of deteriorating prefabricated buildings for which replacement funding has been sought for many years. [22876/97]

Minister for Education and Science (Mr. Martin)

The provision of improved accommodation at the school referred to by the Deputy will be considered in the ight of existing capital commitments and the future funding available to my Department. I am not in a position at present to indicate when grant aid will be provided, but the project will be kept under review within my Department and a decision will be conveyed to the school management as soon as possible.
