179 Mr. O'Leary asked the Minister for Education when work will commence on the building of the proposed primary school at Tulloha, Bonane, Kenmare, County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [3698/97]

The proposed new school at Tulloha is one of a number of urgent projects I am considering for a phased release to tender later in the year.

When a decision is made, the school will be informed. At this stage, I am not in a position to say when work might commence.
