When I was Tánaiste, I visited this school with former Deputy Jack Wall and former Senator John Whelan. I wholeheartedly concur with what has been said. The building project for this school has, like that relating to St. Mochta's, been waiting years for approval. Does the Minister propose, in the context of the budget or shortly thereafter, to publish a list of all of the schools - indicating the position in respect of each - that are included in the 2016-2021 capital programme? That would be important for the many school communities by which I am being approached that are really worried about their different projects, whether it be in the context of land acquisition or, as in the case of Monasterevin, finalisation - after what seems like decades - of a vital project.
