Dublin South-East): Sketch-plans for a new national school at Glynn, County Wexford, were approved by my Department in November 1981 and a grant towards the cost was sanctioned in January 1982.
Subsequent to the approval of these plans, there was a change of mind at local level concerning the location of the new school and it was eventually decided to acquire an extension to the site of the existing school and to extend the school. Planning on that basis was authorised in July 1982.
Sketch-plans for the revised proposal were submitted to my Department recently and are being examined at present.
