I have decided to establish an inquiry, under the provisions of section 105 of the Vocational Education Act 1930 into Kilkenny City Vocational School. The terms of reference of the inquiry will be forwarded to the Deputy for his information.

The inquiry will be conducted by Mr. Torlach O'Connor, a retired assistant chief inspector of my Department. I have asked the inquiry officer to conduct the inquiry and present his report to me as speedily as possible.
