asked the Minister for Education the progress made with regard to the proposed new school in Ballinskelligs, County Kerry; and when work is likely to commerce.

Sketch plans for the proposed new school in Ballinskelligs, County Kerry, have been approved, and a grant towards the cost has been sanctioned by my Department. The present position is that the manager's architect is preparing the working drawings with a view to the invitation of tenders. It is not possible to state at this stage when building work is likely to commence.
