asked the Minister for Education if he will produce a copy of the reply of the Manager of the National Schools at Breaghy and Ballinalee, in the parish of Clonbroney, County Longford, to the communication which his Department addressed to the manager with reference to the holding of political meetings in those schools.

I do not think that it is proper that letters between managers of schools and the Department of Education should be published, and, accordingly, I regret that I cannot meet the Deputy's wishes.
