asked the Minister for Education the reasons for the delay in providing post-primary schools to serve the area of Walkinstown and adjacent districts in Dublin; and when these will be provided.

There is a number of post-primary schools already in existence in the Walkinstown neighbourhood and a considerable amount of additional accommodation is being provided by way of new school buildings and extensions.

Some difficulties have been experienced by the County Dublin Vocational Education Committee in acquiring a site for a proposed boys' vocational school in Walkinstown but these have now been resolved and planning of that school is proceeding.
