Vol. 233 No. 8

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - County Sligo National Schools.

6.

asked the Minister for Education what proposals there are in his Department for the improvement, reconstruction or replacement of national schools in County Sligo.

With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to circulate, for inclusion in the Official Report, a statement in tabular form giving the information requested by the Deputy.

Following is the statement:

County Sligo

Proposed New Schools

A grant towards the cost of a new school has been sanctioned but a contract has not yet been placed.

St. Mary's SligoEaskeyCorballaKnocknarea*Owenbeg*Carrowmore*

The schools marked *, being two-teacher schools, investigations are in progress to ascertain if the pupils can be suitably provided for in larger school units, either by amalgamation with existing schools or by the provision of central schools.

Carniara*

Cloneen*Kilmactranny*

The other cases are at various stages in relation to the sanction of grants.

Breaghwy*

Proposed Central School at Collooney (to replace 4 small local non-catholic schools)

Schemes of major improvements and reconstruction

Killaville

A scheme has been prepared and negotiations as to the grant and local contribution are proceeding.

Ballycutranta

This is a one-teacher school and investigations are in progress to ascertain if the pupils can be more suitably provided for in a larger school either through amalgamation with an existing school or provision of a new central school.

In addition, there are other schools in the constituency where water-flushed sanitation systems are being provided by managers under the terms of a recent general circular authorising them to undertake, without prior consultation with the Department, such improvements in the heating and sanitation of schools as are urgently needed.
