Vol. 481 No. 4
243 Mrs. B. Moynihan-Cronin asked the Minister for Education and Science the reason for the delay in purchasing a site for the provision of a new Gaelscoil in Killarney, County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16081/97]
My Department has agreed to purchase a site in Killarney for the Gaelscoil referred to by the Deputy.
The contract documentation for the transaction has been examined by the Chief State Solicitor's office and a number of queries have been raised by that office. My Department's building unit is currently addressing the issues raised and will be in contact with the Chief State Solicitor's office in the matter shortly.
Every effort is being made to have the purchase of the site completed as quickly as possible.
244 Mr. Gilmore asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will give sanction to County Wexford Vocational Education Committee to appoint a design team for the proposed extension to Kilmuckridge Vocational College, County Wexford. [16118/97]
An application in respect of an extension at Kilmuckridge vocational school, County Wexford, has been received and processed in my Department. The schedule of accommodation to be provided in the proposed extension has been agreed with County Wexford Vocational Education Committee. Arrangements are being made for the appointment of a design team.
Officials from the planning and building unit of my Department will be in contact with County Wexford Vocational Education Committee in the near future in this regard.
