asked the Minister for Education the up-to-date position concerning the proposed new post primary school for the Jobstown area of Tallaght, Dublin; and when he expects work will commence on the construction of this school.

The bills of quantities for the Jobstown project are at present being examined by my Department. Subject to clearance of these bills of quantities and the incorporation of any necessary amendments in the documentation, tenders will be invited at the earliest possible date. It is not possible at this stage to give a precise date for the commencement of construction.
