HC Deb 18 May 1914 vol 62 c1608W
Mr. DORIS

asked the Chief Secretary whether the Valley national school, Achill, county Mayo, Roll No. 8547, has for a considerable number of years been reported as unsuitable, insanitary, and dangerous for the pupils and teachers attending it; have large numbers of children been unable to attend the school during the winter months or in inclement weather owing to its very defective condition; and, in view of the consequent injury to education in this school district, are the Board of Works taking any steps to erect a new school there?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Board of Works-have entered into a contract for the erection of a new school, and they are urging the contractor to proceed with the work.
