Olwyn Enright (Laois-Offaly, Fine Gael)

Does the Minister have plans under the building programme to ensure good quality science laboratories in schools? I know a small amount of money was given to schools to implement the junior certificate science syllabus. Given the condition of some laboratories, it is a drop in the ocean. Will the Minister consider that under the building programme as a side issue rather than wait for a school to apply for large-scale development? Can the provision of science laboratories be prioritised?
