asked the Minister for Education if he will consider the building of a new national school at Meentogues, Headford, County Kerry, in view of the bad condition of the present structure.

The necessary preliminary arrangements for the erection of a new school to replace the present Meentogues National School, Headford, County Kerry, are in train, but certain matters have yet to be settled before the Department will be in a position to sanction a grant towards the cost of the new school.

I shall endeavour to have the case expedited as far as possible.
