Written Answers. - Letterfrack (County Galway) School.

asked the Minister for Education if her attention has been drawn to the appalling condition of prefabricated classrooms at Letterfrack national school, Connemara, County Galway; if she will take immediate steps to have a new classroom extension built or to replace the prefabricated classroom; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 260 and 261 together.
I accept that the prefabricated classroom at Letterfrack national school, County Galway, is in an unsatisfactory condition. I understand that the school authorities propose to submit to my Department an application for a grant towards the cost of providing a low cost classroom of traditional construction to replace it and this proposal will on receipt be considered by my Department. I further understand that the proposal will concern only one prefabricated classroom, the question of repairing which does not now arise.
