Edward Nealon
Ceist:258 Mr. Nealon asked the Minister for Education if her attention has been drawn to the poor state of repair of St. Mary's Boys National School, Carrick-on-Shannon, County Leitrim, where the windows are completely rotten and unable to retain glass, the roof of the prefabricated building is leaking, classrooms show evidence of rat infestation, the furniture is antiquated and there is no floor covering, ventilation in the classrooms is poor, the staff room is completely inadequate, the roof of the corridor is leaking; if her attention has further been drawn to the fact that because of these conditions and the failure to do anything about them over a long period despite repeated promises, the Irish National Teachers Organisation called an official strike of their members teaching there on Friday, 19th February, 1993 which was wholeheartedly supported by the parents of pupils there; when she intends to provide funding to do the necessary work, and when work will commence.
