Olivia Mitchell (Dublin South, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to discuss a matter of urgent importance, namely, the failure of the Minister for Education and Science to provide, as promised at two elections, the urgently required permanent Holy Trinity school in Leopardstown, mindful of the fact that more than €1 million has been already spent on prefabs, that the school has run out of space for further prefabs without encroaching on the building site, and that the school has been deprived of priority Band 1 status despite its entitlement to same as a rapidly expanding area resulting in the unforgivable situation whereby the school is unable to cater for the thousands of children baptised in this area in recent years and now awaiting school places.
