asked the Minister for Education what is the present position in connection with the erection of a new national school at Corlurgan, County Cavan.

A grant has been sanctioned by my Department towards the cost of the erection of a new national school at Corlurgan, Co. Cavan. The arrangements for the erection of the new school are being made by the Commissioners of Public Works. I understand from the Commissioners that they hope to be in a position to invite tenders in a short time.
