Paul Connaughton Snr (Galway East, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss the important matter of the extremely poor conditions at St. Catherine's national school in Aughrim, Ballinasloe, County Galway, where 120 pupils and their teachers operate in mice-infested, damp and grossly over-crowded conditions which include three fabricated buildings and where the huge increase in new houses in the locality demands a new school to cater for at least eight teachers and all ancillary services, and to determine whether it is the intention of the Department of Education and Science to build such a new school.
