Comment on this
With the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 24 and 25 together.
On the recommendation of the Commissioners of Public Works a grant has been sanctioned towards the cost of installing thermal storage heating at Faithlegge national school. The grant will be paid by the Commissioners and I have asked that payment be expedited.
With regard to the question of repairs and improvement, I understand that the school authorities have had some improvements carried out and they have been authorised to carry out additional works. They have been advised that, on completion of the work and the submission of certified receipts, a grant will be paid by my Department.
The future accommodation needs of this area are being investigated by my Department's inspector at present. The replacement of the pre-fabricated classroom by a permanent building will be considered in the light of the report to be submitted by the inspector.
