Ceist:190 Mr. Hogan asked the Minister for Education when she will sanction a second level Irish school for Kilkenny; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
Written Answers. - Kilkenny All Irish School.
My Department is at present considering an application from County Kilkenny VEC for sanction to provide an all-Irish post-primary school, under the committee's aegis, in Kilkenny city, effective from September 1991. A full examination of the application is being carried out within my Department at present.
On a recent visit to Kilkenny I met a representative group regarding the application and had a very useful discussion and exchange of ideas on the matter.
