asked the Minister for Education the reason for the delay in the extension to Kilnaboy national school, County Clare, as the plans have been completed and the extra two rooms are required urgently.

A report on the feasibility of extending Kilnaboy national school is awaited from the Commissioners of Public Works. A decision in the matter of the preparation of plans will have to await consideration of the report. I anticipate that such report from the commissioners will be available at an early date.
