asked the Minister for Finance if the Office of Public Works will fill in a hole left open after drainage operations a year ago in the national school grounds, Kildalkey, County Meath, as the fencing around the hole is inadequate.

Arrangements are being made to enclose the section of drain in question.

How long will it be until it is filled in?

I could not give the Deputy that information but I have the matter under special consideration for the Deputy's benefit and it will be as short as possible.
