A suitable site has been obtained for the new central school which will replace Minard Castle and Clooncurra national schools. Sketch-plans for the new school have been prepared by the Office of Public Works.
A number of revisions to the sketch plans have been suggested to the Department recently by the rev. chairman on behalf of the local community and these are being examined in consultation with the Office of Public Works.
Further planning may not proceed until (1) agreement has been reached concerning the suggested revisions, (2) satisfactory evidence of title to the site has been established and (3) agreement has been reached with the school authorities regarding the amount of the local contribution to be provided.
Question No. 76 postponed.
