Paul Connaughton Snr (Galway East, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the need for the Minister for Education and Science to explain why the proposed new community college in Glenamaddy, County Galway, has not commenced construction despite the fact that the school authorities have been informed that all stages have been successfully concluded and that the builder is awaiting a letter of intent; to tell the House whether she is aware of the utter confusion being caused by the use by the staff and students of the college of two existing schools which are almost half a mile apart; to bear in mind that the amalgamation project was commenced in 2002; and to inform the House when the go-ahead for the project will be given.
