74 Mr. Hyland asked the Minister for Education if her attention has been drawn to the urgency of providing a new school (details supplied) at Shangannamore, County Laois; and if she will give an indication as to when work is likely to commence. [13652/95]

Officials from the primary buildings branch of my Department met with representatives of the school's board of management on 20 July 1995. At that meeting my Department agreed in principle to grant-aid the provision of a new school at Shangannamore.
