asked the Minister for Education if he will state with regard to the new Community School at Carrigaline, County Cork, when it is proposed (a) to appoint the board of management, (b) to appoint a principal and (c) to open the school for the intake of pupils.

It is anticipated that the new post-primary school in Carrigaline will operate from the beginning of the 1981-1982 school year. The setting up of the board of management, the appointment of the principal and the enrolment of the pupils will, it is hoped, take place early in 1981.
