asked the Minister for Education when the building of the new national school at St. Mochta's, Weavers Road, Porterstown, County Dublin, will commence.

Sketch plans for the proposed new school at Porterstown, Clonsilla, County Dublin, have been approved and a grant will be sanctioned towards the cost of the project as soon as title to the site is confirmed as satisfactory by the Chief State Solicitor, who is currently examining documentary evidence in relation thereto.

It is not possible at this stage to say when building work will commence.
