asked the Minister for Education if he will state in respect of County Waterford, the work being undertaken currently and planned for in 1987 in respect of new national schools and extensions to existing national schools in the city and county; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The compilation of the information sought by the Deputy in relation to national schools in the city and county of Waterford would involve the expenditure of an inordinate amount of official time, and in the circumstances I am not in a position to give it. If the Deputy should put down a question seeking information about progress in relation to a particular national school building project, the information would be given.
