Joe Higgins (Dublin West, Socialist Party)

My question is in the way of being general but it is honing in on the identification of appropriate issues. The creation of social infrastructure alongside the thousands of homes being built is an appropriate issue. I am asking the Taoiseach about the role of this committee in that.

It is a similar situation in burgeoning commuter towns. This morning I was in Laytown and Bettystown in east Meath where 98 children will not have a classroom in which to start school in September. That is incredible.
