Mr. O.J. Flanagan

asked the Minister for Education if he will give details, not including proposals by vocational education committees, of the school building programme in Laois and Offaly stating (a) what new schools are in course of erection, (b) what schools are approved and to be erected in due course, and (c) school extensions and the area in which the works are situated; and if he will give separately the proposals approved for such school works by the vocational educational committee in (a) County Laois and (b) County Offaly in addition to all other school works in these countries.
