asked the Minister for Education the number of primary schools with classes of 30-35 pupils; classes of 35-40 pupils; classes of 40-45 pupils; and classes of more than 45 pupils in the school year 1976-77.

Data from which to extract the information requested by the Deputy is not fully available in respect of the school year 1976-77. I am having the information extracted from the data for the year 1975-76 and will forward it to the Deputy as soon as possible.
