AS classroom sizes and adequate school accommodation remains an issue throughout the county, two east Clare schools received planning per- mission for temporary accommoda- tion.
Just over a week ago Clare County Council granted Scoil Seanain Nao- fa, Clonlara, permission to install two prefabricated stand-alone class- rooms.
The permission was granted sub- ject to a number of conditions in- cluding that all surface water runoffs generated by the proposal shall be collected and disposed of within the site, and shall not be disposed of to public sewers.
The conditions also outlined that in the event that the proposed prefab units become obsolete, the Board of Management shall at its own expense remove them and return the site to its original condition. Otherwise the
planning permission is valid for five years.
The planning authority also or- dered that and existing pipes beneath the structure would be encased in 100 mm concrete.
Likewise, Scoil na Maighdine Mhu- ire in Broadford received permission last week to erect two portacabins to the south of the existing school building.
The first portacabin is to provide a classroom, resource room and two
toilets of approximately 120 me- tres squared. The second temporary building is to provide a resource room of 16 square metres.
Once again Clare County Coun- cil gave permission to the Board of Management to proceed with its plans subject to some conditions, including its request to remove the temporary building if it is no longer needed.
The permission had also a shelf life of five years.
