asked the Minister for Education if he will sanction the proposed extension to Sancta Maria College, Ballyroan, Dublin so that construction can be commenced this year.

64.

asked the Minister for Education the reasons for the delay in having work commenced on the new school at Sancta Maria College, Ballyroan, Rathfarnham, Dublin.

With the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 63 and 64 together.

The planning of the proposed extension of Sancta Maria College Ballyroan, is well advanced. When the tender documents have been prepared by the manager's consultants, the question of the date on which commencement of the building work may be allowed will be considered.
