asked the Minister for Education when work will commence on a new central national school at Carnalisson, Four-Mile-House. County Roscommon; the cost of the project; and if she will give details of accommodation.

Sketch plans for the proposed new national school at Four-Mile-House, County Roscommon, which will comprise four classrooms, a general purposes room, and ancillary accommodation, have been approved by my Department. A grant towards the cost will be sanctioned when agreement has been reached concerning the local contribution.

It would not be appropriate to state the estimated cost of a specific project before tenders have been invited.

It is not possible to state at this stage when building work may commence.

Would the Minister inform the House of when the terms were submitted and approved by the Board of Works?

I am sorry that I have not that information. The only thing I can say is that a grant will be sanctioned towards the cost of the scheme when the local contribution is settled with the chairman. I have not the information requested in the Deputy's question, but I can communicate with him and let him have it if necessary.

Will the Minister include adequate funds in the Public Capital Programme for 1983 to provide this new central school very badly needed in my constituency?

As I said in reply to previous supplementaries, I cannot give the Deputy that assurance.
