asked the Minister for Education if he will make a statement on the proposed extension to Scoil Naoimh Lorcáin, Kilmacud, County Dublin, in particular on the date on which it is intended that building will start.

I understand from the Commissioners of Public Works that working drawings for the proposed extension scheme at Scoil Naoimh Lorcáin, Kilmacud, County Dublin have been approved by the Commissioners of Public Works and that they await the submission of a bill of quantities.

When the bill of quantities has been received and found suitable, the invitation of tenders will be considered by my Department.

May I inquire whether the putting out of this contract to tender will be proceeded with without delay on receipt of the bill of quantities?

Yes.

Without delay once the bill of quantities has been received?

Yes.

Questions Nos. 9, 10, 11, and 12 have gone for written reply.
