Minister for Education and Science (Mr. Martin)

An application was received by my Department from the school to which the Deputy refers for funding towards the cost of repair to the playground.

A report has recently been received by my Department from the Office of Public Works on the condition of the playground.

On consideration of this report, officials from my Department will be in contact with the school authorities regarding the issue.
