Vol. 406 No. 7

Written Answers. - Portarlington (Laois) School.

Charles Flanagan

Ceist:

245 Mr. Flanagan asked the Minister for Education if her attention has been drawn to the structural problems at CBS, Portarlington, County Laois where pre-fabricated buildings have been in operation for upwards of 25 years; and if she will make a statement on her intentions in this regard.

There are three post-primary schools in Portarlington with a combined enrolment of just under 700 pupils. The managements of the three schools and my Department are agreed, in principle that in the long term, the establishment of a single post-primary school represents the best development for Portarlington. In the interim, my Department are prepared to grant-aid the provision of temporary accommodation in the centre and an application is at present being considered within my Department.
