Written Answers. - Clogheen (Cork) National School.

The Clogheen national school, County Cork, has seven teachers, including the principal, and the new school recently provided with grant-aid from my Department comprises seven classrooms and a general purposes area. Present enrolments fall short of the numbers required to justify grant-aiding the provisions of an eight classroom and it is not my Department's practice to grant-aid the provision of permanent school accommodation before the need for it is established. Enrolments in this school will be kept under review and if circumstances later so warrant, the application for grant-aid towards the cost of an extra classroom will be reconsidered.
