Mr. Pattison Mr. Pattison

27. Mr. Pattison asked the Minister for Education if, in connection with his statement of 26th May that detailed surveys of certain areas of the country with a view to ascertaining the need for additional educational facilities were under way, he will state the number of surveys which have already begun; what areas are covered by each of these surveys; the total number of these surveys; the total number of surveys contemplated; and the areas of the country which will be covered by them.

Dr. Hillery Dr. Hillery

Dr. Hillery: I have already stated that the areas involved in relation to the surveys will be those situated in western, north-western and south-western regions of the country wherever the present provision for post-primary education is inadequate. The carrying out of the surveys in an orderly manner make it imperative at this juncture that there should be no public announcement of the districts involved in relation to each individual survey.
