asked the Minister for Education if it is proposed to build a new national school house at Dooish, Ballybofey, County Donegal; and, if so, when.

It is proposed to build a new national school at Dooish, Ballybofey, to replace Dooish and Meenbane national schools.

A grant towards the cost of the new school will be sanctioned when satisfactory evidence of title to the entire school site is furnished.

I am unable to say at this stage when the new school will be erected but plans are being prepared in anticipation of satisfactory evidence of title to the site being furnished.
