Ennis, County Clare, 12th December 2007 - Library facilities at Scoil Chríost Rí are set for a major upgrade following the allocation of EUR28,000 to the Cloughleigh school.
The Government approved the grant-aid funding this week, as part of the Dormant Accounts Educational Disadvantage/RAPID Leverage Small Scale Capital Scheme for Schools in Disadvantaged Areas. Welcoming the announcement, Minister of State and Clare T.D. Mr. Tony Killeen, said the enhancement of the school's library facilities would prove to be of huge benefit to teachers and students alike. "I have no doubt that modern school library facilities can have a positive impact on the academic development of students, particularly at primary level. Meanwhile, a well-equipped library can greatly assist teachers in implementing the school curriculum", explained Minister Killeen. He added that the Government remained committed to counteracting educational disadvantage throughout Clare. "By investing in the infrastructure of schools across the county, the Government is helping to enrich the learning environment for children. For Scoil Christ Rí in Ennis I hope that improvements to the school library will help students to learn while enabling them to develop a love for books", added Minister Killeen. -ENDS- Notes to Editor: - Tony Killeen T.D., Minister of State at the Department of Environment Heritage and Local Government and Communication Energy and Natural Resources with special responsibility for Environment and Energy, is available for interview and further comment on 0035387-2525304.
