Is the Minister aware that conditions in this school are among the worst in the country and that we in Donegal always seem to have the worst so far as schools are concerned? In these circumstances can the Minister give an assurance to do everthing in his power in regard to having work on the extension commenced at the earliest date possible following the completion of the preparation by the Department of the plans concerned?

I would not dispute the Deputy's claim as to the bad condition of the school. We are in communication with the chairman of the board of management and at the moment the ball is in his court. As soon as I have additional information I shall be in a position to consider the matter further.
