Question 140: To ask the Minister for Education and Science if her attention has been drawn to the overcrowding at a school (details supplied) in County Galway, the spiralling numbers on the roll, now at 251, that this is likely to rise substantially in the next few years, that there are some classes with as many as 35 pupils in each class, that there is huge pressure on the management committee not to take all students offering for places in the near future and that an agreement has been reached between her Department and the board of management for the building of ten extra rooms and other ancillary works; when this process will begin with a view to the commencement of building; when building will begin; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
