asked the Minister for Education the present position regarding the proposed new national school at Tydavnet, County Monaghan.
In February last, my Department authorised the Commissioners of Public Works to arrange for the invitation of tenders for the proposed new national school at Tydavnet, County Monaghan.
I understand from the Commissioners that contract documents were completed in late August. However, before they invite tenders, it will be necessary to ensure that there will be an adequate water supply to enable building work to proceed and they have asked the reverend chairman of the board of management to have a well sunk on the site. When this matter has been resolved, tenders will be invited.
