Written Answers. - Contract for Primary School.
I regret I am not in a position to give the Deputy the information for which he asks. It is not the practice, and it will be appreciated that in the general interest it would not be desirable, to disclose details regarding the allocation of grants or the tenders received or the contract made for the erection or reconstruction of any particular national school.
