My Department were given to understand that the premises referred to by the Deputy would be available for rent after Easter 1984, and that the special school project could be accommodated in them. When, immediately before Easter, it was ascertained that the premises in question were not so available, the board of management were asked to forward details of any other suitable premises in the area available for renting. My Department are awaiting a response from the board of management in the matter.
