Question:

210 Mr. Connaughton asked the Minister for Education and Science if she will issue the necessary permission to allow a school (details supplied) to apply to Galway County Council for planning permission to erect proper changing and dressing room facilities at the school; if her attention has been drawn to the fact that whilst the school authorities have persistently sought grant aid for the project and still hope to be successful in this regard, the parents association has begun a fund raising drive to pay for the proposed building but need her permission to seek planning permission; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

The management authority of the school to which the Deputy refers has submitted proposals relating to the changing and dressing room facilities at the school.
