In relation to Questions 142, 143, 144 the information sought by the Deputy in regard to the present school year will not be available to the Department until after the annual census has been taken in February next. Furthermore compiling it in the form in which it is sought would take an inordinate amount of time and would not warrant the cost involved.
With your permission I propose to raise the subject matter of Question No. 175 on the Order Paper of the 22nd November which was postponed last Thursday due to the absence of the Minister, as you remember.
The Chair will communicate with the Deputy.
