Nora Owen

Question:

484 Mrs. Owen asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will make funds available to facilitate a joint endeavour between a school and a soccer club (details supplied) in County Dublin, who wish to provide an all weather pitch on the school site. [11916/98]

Minister for Education and Science (Mr. Martin)

There is no record of an application in the planning and building unit of my Department for the provision of an all weather pitch at the school in question. An application for this type of facility is more appropriate to the Department of Tourism, Sport and Recreation.
