asked the Minister for Education if he is aware of the urgent need for a new boys' national school at Kinsale, Cork; and the reason for the delay.

As the Deputy is aware, it was intended to cater for the pupils of Dunderrow national school in new schools to be built in Kinsale. The situation has recently been complicated by the unwillingness of the Dunderrow parents to participate in these arrangements. The position has been clarified in the case of the proposed new school for girls in Kinsale and it is hoped that it will soon be clarified also in the case of the new school for boys in Kinsale.
