asked the Minister for Education if any decision has yet been arrived at in connection with the application of the Saint John of God Community to have an extension made to their schools at the Faythe, Wexford.

A grant of two-thirds of the estimated cost of a scheme of reconstruction of Faythe Convent National School has been sanctioned. I understand that arrangements are being made with a view to the invitation of tenders for the execution of the works.
