Question:75 Mr. Hogan asked the Minister for Education when work will commence on the extension to St. John's boys school, County Kilkenny; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
Sketch plans for the proposed extension to St. John's boys school, which is to serve as the senior co-educational national school in St. John's Parish, are at present being prepared by my Department's professional advisers. The plans are expected to be ready for transmission to the school authorities this month to enable them to seek planning permission for the scheme. As the project is at an early stage of the planning process, it is not, however, possible to say when work will commence.
