asked the Minister for Education if he will state in relation to his speech to the ASTI conference in Sligo on 30 March 1978, the schools which had applications for building grants sanctioned by his Department, and which subsequently closed down before taking up the grant; the amount of the grant sanctioned; and the date it was sanctioned.

I am not aware of any cases of secondary schools which had applications for building grants approved by my Department and which subsequently closed down before taking up the grant. What I said at the ASTI conference is that closure was announced before the grants on offer were taken up. I do not propose to name any school in this connection.
