I want to quickly acknowledge the Minister's announcement yesterday about delivering equality of opportunity in schools, DEIS, and DEIS Urban and reducing the staffing.

I would like to point out to Mr. Loftus as the departmental official over school buildings that it is 25 years since Scoil An Chroí Naofa was promised an amalgamation and a new school. Planning permission has expired. What is the longest-running school building project at stage 2B? There are currently 200 buildings on site, with €740 million allocated for school buildings this year. We really need to see movement from stage 2B to stage 3 on this project. I ask the official or the Minister to respond.
