Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - New Mayo School.
It is proposed, with the concurrence of the reverend manager, to replace the present national school at Banagher, Country Mayo, by a new school, and my Department has sanctioned a grant towards the cost of the construction of the new schoolhouse. The preliminary arrangements for the erection of the new building are in the hands of the Commissioners of Public Works.
My Department is in consultation with the Commissioners of Public Works on the question of the advisability of carrying out some works to improve conditions in the present school pending the completion of the new building.
