I propose to take Questions Nos. 667, 668, 679, 689, 690, 701, 716, 736, 742, 746, 751, 767 and 781 together.

In 1996, Scoil Mochua, Clondalkin, applied to my Department for grant aid for extension and refurbishment works.

I am aware that the school, under the patronage of the Central Remedial Clinic, has recently undertaken a programme of improvement works to the buildings, including the heating system. Early this month, the planning and building unit of my Department was in touch with the school management seeking details of the works programme. This matter is now under review and when the information is supplied, my Department will give urgent consideration to the request for assistance.
