View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 234 to 236, inclusive, together.
An application for grant aid for a sports hall was received from the management authorities of St. Mogue's in May 2000.
The planning and building unit of my Department has prepared PE hall templates that will standardise the construction of PE halls at second level schools and will be used to plan the provision of PE halls nationally. The PE hall templates are being piloted in a number of locations this year.
The matter of providing a PE hall at the school to which the Deputy refers will be considered when the pilot programme has been completed and evaluated and in line with available resources and priorities arising.
