Mr. R. Burke
With a view to providing better educational facilities for the children in the Esker school district, a proposal was made to the reverend manager of Esker National School in the early months of 1972 that the school should be amalgamated with the national school at Daingean.
I understand, however, that some of the Esker parents are not in favour of this amalgamation and I have accordingly given instructions that, for the present, no further action on the part of my Department to be taken towards the closure of the school.
