asked the Minister for Education the length of time her Department's investigation into staffing levels will take in St. John's national school, Michael Street, Kilkenny, as the 1988-89 school year has already commenced.

The review of staffing levels in this school has been completed. The authorised staffing is based on the enrolment on 30 September 1987, in accordance with the agreement between the Government and the INTO worked out under the auspices of the central review committee for the Programme for National Recovery.
