asked the Minister for Education the present position regarding the extension to Glenbeg national school; and when it will be sanctioned and allowed to go to tender.

My Department in January 1986 sanctioned a grant for an extension to Glenbeg national school, County Waterford. Contract documents for the project are now in course of preparation in my Department. When this work has been completed the question of inviting tenders for the project will arise for consideration. It is not possible, at this stage, to provide a time-scale for further developments.
