Terence Flanagan (Dublin North 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 include immediately Springdale national school in Raheny in her Department's school building programme. The Department sanctioned the rebuilding of the school in March 2001, but in spite of many promises and the assessment of the project as a priority project, the school has not been rebuilt. The walls are damp and there are major health and safety risks, with mouse traps having to be set at night. I request the Minister urgently to include the school in her school building programme.
