James Bannon (Longford-Westmeath, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the Minister's plans to increase the number of places in primary schools, as it is shameful to see young children who should be starting school denied access. Junior infants places in the midlands are at a worryingly low level. Numerous parents in Longford-Westmeath are being denied places for their children.
