Written answers

Minister for Education and Science (Mr. N. Dempsey)

A GP-PE room of 200 sq. m. is provided for in the proposed extension to this school. However, my Department has no objection to the school increasing the size of the proposed GP-PE room, provided the additional costs are funded locally.
