asked the Minister for Education whether he is aware that facilities at the Town Hall, Castleblayney, are totally inadequate and render it unsuitable for use as a technical school and that in addition the fact that these classes are held there means that amenities for Circuit Court sittings are also inadequate; and, if so, whether he will regard the building of a new technical school as a matter of urgency.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Technical School Facilities at Castleblayney.
I am aware that the accommodation in the building at present being used as a technical school at Castleblayney is unsuitable and that a new technical school is necessary there. This situation is being kept constantly in mind and, while I am not yet in a position to indicate when the County Monaghan Vocational Education Committee may proceed with the erection of a new school at this centre, I hope to be able to give a decision in the matter in the near future.
