The question of providing national school accommodation to cater for the needs of the new housing area at Bishopstown-Curraheen has been investigated by my Department. It is proposed to erect a new school for boys on a site which the Reverend Manager has offered for the purpose. The preliminary arrangements, including the carrying out of a survey of the site, are now in train. If the site proves suitable the necessary steps in connection with the sanctioning of a grant for the new building will be expedited as far as possible.
