Clashmore school repairs or replacement
Tenders for major window replacement are expected shortly, while the Department is investigating future permanent accommodation. The Minister agreed to re-examine whether a new school would be preferable to extensive repairs.
asked the Minister for Education the plans his Department have for the repair or replacement of Clashmore national school, County Waterford; and when work is expected to commence.

I understand from the Commissioners of Public Works that tenders for a major scheme of window replacement at Clashmore national school, County Waterford, will be invited very shortly. The commissioners are handling the arrangenents for carrying out the scheme.
As stated in the official letter of 19 October 1982 to the Deputy, the matter of the future permanent accommodation requirements at this school is to be investigated by the Department's inspector.

Will the Minister of State have this case re-examined to see if a new school is the answer rather than carrying out extensive repairs? There is a feeling locally that repairs will not suffice. I ask the Minister to look into the matter.
