St. Kevin's community college is under the aegis of County Dublin Vocational Education Committee and is at present housed in the old vocational school, Lucan. Neither I nor my Department is aware of any of the problems mentioned by the Deputy and I am satisfied, from inquiries made from the committee that there are no grounds for complaints regarding these matters. The question of the provision of new buildings for St. Kevin's community college is currently receiving attention within my Department.
