asked the Minister for Education whether he is aware of the local demand for a vocational school at Ballinamuck, County Longford; and, if so, whether he will state when it is proposed to commence building the school.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - County Longford Vocational School.
I am aware that arrangements are being made by the County Longford Vocational Education Committee for building a vocational school at Ballinamuck. I cannot state when the actual building operations will begin, as the expenditure involved is to be defrayed from a loan to be raised by the Longford County Council and the complete official sanction for this loan has not yet been obtained. This matter is under consideration at present, and a decision will be conveyed to the committee as soon as possible.
