It is intended to make physical education facilities available for all post primary schools. However, the timing of the provision of the facilities for any particular school must have regard to capital availability as against other school building commitments and priorities.
The Department is at present faced with a large number of building projects involving the provision of much needed teaching accommodation, as well as a large backlog of applications for physical education halls. In view of this, it is not possible to give a date for the provision of a physical education hall at the vocational school, Bandon.
