asked the Minister for Education when a final payment will be made to the builder on completing the extension to Kilmacthomas vocational school, County Waterford.

The question of the final payment to the builder of the extension is, in the first instance, a matter for County Waterford Vocational Education Committee. The final account for the project has been received in my Department and is currently under examination. It is expected that the examination will be completed in the near future and my Department will then be in contact with the vocational education committee.
