Ciarán Cannon (Galway East, Fine Gael)

The band 2.2 rating the school has been assigned indicates there is a substantial and significant accommodation deficit. While the condition of the existing accommodation is adequate, there is still a deficit in meeting the overall accommodation needs of the school. In difficult economic circumstances it is fortunate to be at an advanced stage in the process of architectural planning. I heard the Deputy's concerns and will undertake to pass them on directly to the Minister, Deputy Quinn, who has ultimate responsibility in this area. I will liaise with the Deputy regularly to update him on any progress on this matter.
