asked the Minister for Education, in view of the statement made by the Minister for State at the opening of the Recreational Planning Conference in the RDS on 19 February 1980 that sports halls will be a continuing feature of the building programme for community schools, if he will now indicate whether all community schools, planned and sanctioned, will have a sports hall as part of the overall building, and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I am strongly in favour of the provision of physical education halls for post-primary schools and I have decided that, in connection with all future community school premises, the building plan should include such a hall.
May we take it from the Minister's reply that all community schools will have a sports hall or gymnasium, as mentioned by his Minister of State?
As my reply indicated, all future community schools will have a physical education hall.
