Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

My Department has not had engagement with the club to which the Deputy refers in relation to the provision of sports facilities for a new school. New school buildings are provided with a high standard of sports facilities on-site and, in general, any access by a school to off-site facilities is typically by local arrangement.
