I will raise the conditions in the two ASD modular units at Barrowhouse National School in which the principal, teachers and other staff are working. The units were held up for years because the school was told to get a design team and do the work and preparation itself. That went on for years. Then the units were delayed and the Department of Education stepped in and told the school to hang on because it would do the project under the framework agreement it had. In other words, there was a company lined up that provides the work for so much per square metre or something like that. That is fine but the problem is that the project was held up for so long. The school is really struggling. What is the status of that project at Barrowhouse National School, Shanganamore?
