I thank the Minister of State for her response. I along with other TDs in the constituency visited the Star of the Sea school in Sandymount recently. We also visited Ringsend boys' and girls' national schools. They are both committed to doing this but need the support of the Department to ensure funding is available for the appropriate construction of rooms. I know, in particular, Ringsend boys’ and girls' national schools have the facilities but they need to ensure money is provided for the construction of ASD rooms. They have been in contact with the Minister of State’s Department. That needs to be prioritised. I thank the Minister of State for her answer. I thank the Chairman.
