Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

We are engaged in discussions, which I accept have been protracted, but my view is that these discussions will be completed soon. What I want to obtain is a method by which we can address the concerns of a number of schools at primary and, particularly, at post-primary level. I am doing my utmost to have that matter resolved so that the schools can deal with the issue of concern in this interim period. However, it will be a limited alleviation and not a return to what was the position heretofore.
