Minister for Education and Science (Dr. Woods)

My Department's building unit has recently received a snag list from the management authorities of St. John's National School, Ballisodare, County Sligo.

This matter will be attended to as soon as possible having regard to the large number of school building projects being processed by my Department.

The school authorities will be kept informed of developments.
