Seamus Healy

Ceist:

65 Deputy Seamus Healy asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will agree to meet the shortfall of funds needed to provide a sports hall for a school (details supplied) in County Tipperary in view of the fact that considerable funds have been raised locally by parents; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I can confirm that the school to which the Deputy refers has applied for additional funding for a sports hall. In view of the constraints imposed by the need to prioritise available funding for the provision of essential school accommodation, my Department is not in a position to provide funding for this project at this time.
