asked the Minister for Education if he is now in a position to allocate a grant for the erection of new convent schools at Milltown, County Kerry.

A site has been offered by the reverend manager for a new school to replace the existing convent national school at Milltown, County Kerry, but certain preliminary arrangements must be made before the Department will be in a position to sanction a grant towards the cost of the new school. The Department will endeavour to have these arrangements completed as expeditiously as possible.
