Ceist:

275 Mr. McGrath asked the Minister for Education and Science if his attention has been drawn to the concerns in relation to the safety of pupils outside Curraghmore national school, Mullingar, County Westmeath; if he will approve expenditure from his Department to provide a pick-up and set-down area for traffic at this school; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13650/99]

Minister for Education and Science (Mr. Martin)

There is no record of my Department having received an application from the management of Curraghmore national school, Mullingar for a pick-up and set-down area for traffic at the school.

Should such an application be received, it will be considered by my Department's building unit in conjunction with an application already being assessed relating to additional accommodation.
