Do not get me started. I want to raise the issue of Scoil Mhuire National School, Milford, County Donegal. The Minister, Deputy Foley, visited the school last year. I do not raise it lightly today. It was a school built in the 1950s for the town that was there at the time. Today it is 215 children. If the Taoiseach visits Donegal, I ask him to see it to believe it. It is a totally inadequate building. The site is landlocked. It is totally inadequate. The school board of management has secured an alternative site, at no cost to the State, in the control points of the town that the planners in Donegal County Council are happy with. I appeal to the Taoiseach to talk to the Minister for Education to please engage with the board of management. She has seen it for herself. They need a new school. They need that commitment. There are fantastic teachers and a fantastic teaching environment but has totally inappropriate amenities in terms of the classrooms, toilets and the whole lot. Will the Taoiseach please talk to the Minister about this?
