Birr community school sports hall

Summary

Enright pressed the Minister on whether Birr’s proposed hall had been removed from the plans. The Minister said no decision had been made since he took office and that he was reviewing the 1976 policy.

Tom Enright Mr. Enright Fine Gael

In regard to Birr community school, is the Minister aware that a sports hall was included in the original plans?

I am aware that sports stopped in July, 1976 and I am looking at the situation now to see if we can introduce sports again.

Could I have a specific reply? I want to know if a sports hall was included in the original plans and deleted of late?

Any decision taken with regard to sports halls, their erection or non-erection, was taken in July, 1976.

It is very kind of the Minister to tell me that much, but I am asking if the plans for the sports hall have been deleted within the last few months.

No decision about sports halls was taken by me since I took office. The decision to which I referred was taken in 1976 and I am looking at it again in the light of the 1978 Estimates. I am sorry, a Cheann Comhairle, for disobeying you.
