Vol. 407 No. 6

Written Answers. - Castleblayney (County Monaghan) School.

Andrew Boylan

Ceist:

188 Mr. Boylan asked the Minister for Education when she proposes to commence the building programme for Our Lady's secondary school, Castleblayney, County Monaghan; if her attention has been drawn to the conditions under which children have to study and to the problems caused to teachers as a result of the deplorable conditions of rotting prefabs and over-crowding; if her attention has further been drawn to the fact that there is an enrolment of 142 students which is an increase of 30 students into 1st year; if she has inspected this hazardous building; and if she will now give a starting date for this school's building programme.

An application for temporary accommodation to meet the short term demand for pupil places has been received recently in my Department and is currently under consideration.

A number of minor improvement works have also been carried out at Our Lady's secondary school in recent years.

It will be necessary to examine the possibilities for rationalisation in the centre having regard to the projected decline in the medium and long term enrolments.
