asked the Minister for Education when the extension to Our Lady of Mercy secondary school, Mourne Road, Drimnagh, Dublin, will be commenced, as this extension was approved in January 1977, and no progress appears to have been made since.

The architectural planning of the extension of Our Lady of Mercy secondary school, Mourne Road, Drimnagh, has reached the stage where working drawings are being prepared by the schools design team. I would hope to see this project advertised for tender before the end of 1979.
