Castlegregory school hall
Deputy Michael Healy-Rae sought support for a general-purpose hall at Castlegregory national school after a funding application was refused. The Taoiseach said he was aware of the case and that the Minister of State and Education Minister were working on it, with progress expected in a few months.
I raise a matter related to a commitment to the education sector in the programme for Government. In recent days, Mr. Patrick Crean, the principal of Castlegregory national school, convened an important meeting regarding the provision of what is called a general purpose or physical education hall for the school. Some 138 children attend that school. A general purpose hall is urgently required and it would be approximately 350 sq m in size. An application was made for the provision of a hall, which was turned down. I ask the Taoiseach and the Minister for Education and Skills to look favourably on providing this most necessary infrastructure for Castlegregory national school and its environs.
