John McGuinness

Question:

564. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Education and Skills if she will review the response to Parliamentary Question No. 136 of 30 June 2020; if the very low level of funding required will be provided in view of the fact that the initiative will alleviate overcrowding and health and safety issues while the school awaits the construction of a new school and physical education hall; and if a positive response will be expedited.

Minister for Education and Skills

Due to the need to prioritise the available capital funding for essential classroom accommodation, I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department is not in a position to provide the funding sought by the school in question for an outdoor sporting facility.
