asked the Minister for Education if he will state when his Department will permit the necessary repairs to be carried out at Berrings National School, County Cork.

A grant has been sanctioned by my Department towards the cost of carrying out the works required to Berrings National School, County Cork. The Commissioners of Public Works are having the necessary plans and specification prepared and expect to be in a position to issue them to the manager at an early date, with instructions in regard to the execution of the works.
