asked the Minister for Education the present position regarding the proposed extension to the new gymnasium at Ballyshannon vocational school, County Donegal; and if additional expenditure has been approved for this much-needed extension.
I propose to take Questions 595 and 596 together.
Working drawings for the proposed new school have been received from the Vocational Education Committee's consultants and are under examination in my Department at present. It is not possible at this stage to say when work on the new school will commence.
