asked the Minister for Education if he intends to sanction a sports hall for Mount Sion Christian Brothers School, Waterford; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I have noted the request of the school manager for a physical education hall at Mount Sion Christian Brothers School, Waterford. I am not yet in a position to announce the names of the schools which may be selected in 1981 for the provision of physical education halls.

Could the Minister give the House any indication when he intends to make and publish a decision on any schools which will be allocated sports halls in the current year?

I called them physical education halls. A decision will be taken in the very near future.
