112 Mrs. Geoghegan-Quinn asked the Minister for Education the position regarding an extension to a college (details supplied) in County Galway; when the design team will be employed; the proposed date of commencement of the extension; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [10881/97]

The appointment of a design team for the proposed extension project at the school in question is currently under consideration in my Department. The question of a date for the commencement of the project will not arise until the architectural planning process has been successfully completed and will then be considered in light of available resources.
