As Marlfield national school is a two-teacher school, within two miles of Clonmel, arrangements are in hands for the pupils to be brought to larger schools in Clonmel, by means of a State-aided transport service. My Department is doing everything possible to have these arrangements put into effect without delay.
How soon does the Minister think that the change will take place? Will it be a month or a year?
I am afraid I cannot tell the Deputy, except that as far as I am concerned it could take place within a week, but there are certain other difficulties to be overcome at the moment. My Department is anxious to do it as quickly as possible.
