Question 207: To ask the Minister for Education and Science if it has been brought to her attention that the board of management of a school (details supplied) in County Sligo, has applied to her Department for grant aid to purchase a small portion of land at the rear of the school for use as a play and recreation area; if a decision has been made in respect of the request; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

An application for financial assistance towards the purchase of additional land has recently been received from the school in question and is being considered by my officials. The school has also applied for funding towards an extension and refurbishment at the school. As the existing school site is not owned by my Department, there are legal complexities to be considered before a decision is taken on how best to meet the school's accommodation needs for the future. My officials will be in contact with the school authorities in this regard in due course.
