Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 September 2015
1329. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Education and Skills if a school (details supplied) in County Kerry will be grant-aided to purchase a strip of land necessary to provide an adequate and safe playground space; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [32034/15]
View answerAs the Deputy may be aware, a new 8 classroom major capital building project is currently being provided by my Department for the school in question.
On completion of the project, the school will have access to a General Purpose room within the new school building and also to an external space that will comprise a ball court and a separate junior play area which is considered adequate. Grant aid is not available to purchase the additional land referred to by the Deputy.
