asked the Minister for Education when he proposes to sanction the building of a new school at Leixlip, County Kildare.

My Department have approved of the erection of two new separate schools for boys and girls at Leixlip, County Kildare, each having 16 classrooms. It is proposed to build a block of eight classrooms as the first stage.

The reverend manager has offered a suitable site and his architect has submitted sketch plans to the Office of Public Works.

A grant towards the cost of the entire project will be sanctioned when satisfactory evidence of title and cost estimates are available.

The remaining questions will appear on tomorrow's Order Paper.
