asked the Minister for Education if he will state, further to a reply of 15th December, if he has as yet completed his investigation of how primary school facilities can best be provided for the pupils of Toureenard school and the other three schools in Knocknagoshel, County Kerry; and, if so, what decision has been reached in the matter.

The schools referred to by the Deputy are Toureenard, Knocknagoshel, Mein and Knockbrack national schools.
The investigations in the case of the Toureenard and Knocknagoshel schools have not yet been completed.
I consider that primary school facilities for the children at present attending the small two teacher school at Mein can best be provided by closing this school and conveying them by transport service to Knockbrack national school which is about three miles away. My Department is in communication with the Manager in regard to this proposal. I am taking steps to have the completion of the investigations in relation to the Toureenard and Knocknagoshel schools expedited.
