David Stanton (Cork East, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

As my colleague, Deputy Buckley, said just now, east Cork is experiencing rapid growth and the county development plan recently published indicates phenomenal growth in the area. I acknowledge the Minister visited east Cork recently. It was a welcome and successful visit. She met with the principals, visited two schools and they are still talking about it. There is a need for forward planning beginning now. Notwithstanding the excellent work done to date with extensions, new schools and so on, we need to do more. I am interested to hear what the Minister has to say.
