asked the Minister for Education the number of new starts in (a) primary school buildings, (b) post-primary school buildings and (c) third-level education in each of the following years: (i) 1985, (ii) 1986, (iii) 1987, (iv) 1988 and the proposed number for 1989.

The information requested by the Deputy is not readily available. The compilation of the information requested would take some time but I have asked my Department to forward it to the Deputy as soon as it is available.
