727.

asked the Minister for Education the current state of planning in relation to the proposed regional technical college in Thurles; and when it is planned to acquire a site for the purpose.

I would draw the attention of the Deputy to Paragraph 7.85 of the national plan Building on Reality 1985-87 in which it was indicated that new regional technical colleges in Tallaght, Dún Laoghaire and Blanchardstown and the commencement of planning of new colleges in Thurles and Castlebar have been proposed. It is intended to commence as many as possible of the projects in the plan period after further examination of the need for each project and having regard to the availability of finance.

In this context certain preliminary decisions will require to be made in regard to the educational brief and the physical planning requirements in relation to the proposed college in Thurles before the Department will be in a position to proceed with the acquisition of a site.
