I thank Deputy Crowe for his engagement and passion to see that this project is delivered in a timely manner. I can confirm that Tubber National School is due to receive a capital grant approval in the coming days for the initiation of the delivery phase. The next step in the process will be for the school authorities to again engage with the consultant and with the approved appointed modular contractor to discuss detailed design. The Department will organise a meeting to help to initiate this project.

In the wider context, I reaffirm my commitment to bring a message back to the Minister, Deputy Foley, around the urgent need for modular accommodation for Tubber National School and to ensure her officials in the Department will work effectively with the school authorities to progress this matter immediately.

The previous point raised around issues with the sewerage system is really important. There is a note here on the delays they have encountered and the reasons for those delays. I hope the Department is in a position to put in place an effective solution to this and to allow the project to progress with pace.
