Approval to seek tenders for the proposed extension to Carrick vocational school was conveyed to the County Donegal Vocational Education Committee in early September and my Department now awaits hearing from the committee in the matter.

asked the Minister for Education the up-to-date position regarding the proposed extension to Bunbeg national school, County Donegal.
My Department is in receipt of sketch plans for the proposed extension to Bunbeg national school. While the plans are generally satisfactory from the architectural standpoint, the costings, particularly those relating to incidental works to the existing school building, appear to be excessive. The school architect has been asked to furnish further details. As soon as these have been received and considered, my Department will be in touch with the chairman of the school management board.
