asked the Minister for Education, if, in view of the expressed wishes of the Parents' Association of St. Thomas' and St. Anne's national schools, Esker, County Dublin that a second-level community school and not a VEC college should be provided in that area, he will now agree to sanction a community school; if not, why; if he will outline the differences between a community school and a VEC college; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
Written Answers. - Esker (Dublin) School.

The new second-level school referred to by the Deputy is in replacement of the existing inadequate vocational school at Lucan.
With regard to the other matters adverted to I would refer the Deputy to my reply to Question No. 361 on 10 March 1981.
