Ceist:

384 Mr. Boylan asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will sanction the application from Milltown national school, Milltown, Belturbet, County Cavan for an extension to their school consisting of a GP room, principal's office and library; if his attention has been drawn to the space shortage (details supplied) at the school; his views on whether this is acceptable; and if he will make a positive decision with the minimum of delay.

Minister for Education and Science (Dr. Woods)

An assessment of the long-term enrolment projections for the school in question will have to be undertaken by my Department before any grant aid is approved for additional accommodation. When the enrolment projections have been completed, my Department will be in contact with the school authorities.
