I ask the Minister about another school provision in the west Dublin area, this time in regard to Ashtown. As the Minister knows, Ashtown has become a much bigger community now, with many new homes. Does the Minister believe it is appropriate that children will go down two flights of stairs in a gym to attend a school with no natural light, ventilation or play area? It seems the reason for that is that the Department of Education and Skills failed to lodge the planning application and make the necessary protocols for a temporary building. Can the Minister explain that?
