Minister for Education and Science (Mr. N. Dempsey)

My Department has received an application from the school authorities of the primary school in County Waterford referred to by the Deputy requesting funding to provide a larger portacabin for September. The application is being considered by the school planning section at present and a decision on the application will be conveyed to the school authorities shortly.
