asked the Minister for Education if he is in a position to state when work on the proposed vocational schools in Ballinamore and Kinlough is likely to be put in hands.

It is not possible at present to indicate when work on the proposed vocational schools in Ballinamore and Kinlough is likely to begin. It has, however, been found possible to place the Ballinamore proposal on the priority list for the financial year 1950-51 and a communication will issue from my Department to County Leitrim Vocational Education Committee during this week regarding the preparation of plans, etc., for this school.
