asked the Minister for Education if he has yet received the further information from the relevant authority in Bray, County Wicklow, concerning the charges made about the falsification of an examination sheet report on the success/failure rate of candidates for examination at the art school in Bray Vocational School.

The vocational education committee have been informed that a recheck was made of the students' work and that no change in the examination results was warranted. There was no question of falsification involved in this matter.

I should like to inquire about the principal involved in this matter. This is a highly respected person in vocational and artistic circles and there is some question that he might lose pension rights as the result of the falsification of a report. Has the Minister any information on this question? The man has been 30 years there.

I have not. I assure the Deputy that if such were the case I would not be happy with it, but there is not any reference to what the Deputy is concerned with in the note I have.

I will ask the Minister again.

I will have it examined sympathetically.
