asked the Minister for Education when it is proposed to invite tenders for the building of the new national school at Kiltartan, Gort, County Galway.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - New Schools for Galway.
A grant has been sanctioned by my Department towards the cost of the erection of a new school to replace the present Kiltartan National School, Gort, County Galway. The Commissioners of Public Works are taking the necessary steps to enable the new school to be erected, but certain arrangements have still to be made before tenders can be invited. These arrangements will necessarily take some time to complete, but every effort is being made to have the case expedited.
I am unable to say, at present, when tenders will be invited.
