asked the Minister for Education in relation to the new community school at Balally, County Dublin, the management structure for the proposed school; the interests which will be represented on such management structure; and the number of members.

The question of the management structure for this school has not yet been decided. After consultation with the local parents' association it has been decided that it is not necessary to make special arrangements, as had been intended, for the reception of students in the partly completed building in 1979. The completed premises will open in 1980.

Is the Minister aware that the population of this area is very mixed from the point of view of religious denominations, and would he take this into account when devising an appropriate management structure for the school?

I am not aware of the religious affiliations of the people of that area.

If it is brought to the Minister's notice will he take it into consideration?

Certainly.
