For example, I refer to the situation in Swords which I have previously brought to the attention of the Minister. Loreto Swords is the only school in Swords providing single-sex education for girls for which there is quite a demand. Because of a lack of laboratory facilities the school at present cannot offer students the opportunity to study science. This is linked to our previous discussion about the need for science education. Such issues need to be addressed in the context of an improving economy.
