Vol. 411 No. 4
241 Mrs. T. Ahearn asked the Minister for Education when finance will be made available for the extension to the post-primary school in Fethard, County Tipperary; if she will outline the amount which will be provided; when the works can commence; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
In May 1991, I agreed to the invitation of tenders by the school authorities for this project. It is understood that tenders have only recently been invited and will be forwarded to the Department in the near future.
Pending the receipt and examination of the tenders, I am not in a position to say when work will commence.
The school authorities have been informed of the level of grant available for the proposed work. It is not the practice to disclose the specific amount involved in such cases as this is regarded as a confidential matter between the Department and the school authorities.
