Richard Bruton (Dublin Bay North, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

There are 15 projects in architectural planning in Meath. They go right across Navan, Dunboyne, Julianstown, Laytown, Ashbourne, Trim, Nobber and more beyond that. There is a very substantial flow of projects that are already committed to, which are meeting the planned expansion of the catchment. I am happy to facilitate sitting down with the Deputy to see if there are particular problems and why they are arising. As I said in my reply, we have just completed 16 classrooms in Gaelscoil na Mí and Ashbourne Educate Together. Therefore, there has been investment there and there is a flow of future investment coming. Let us sit down with the officials involved and see where exactly this problem is arising and whether it can be resolved within the system. We have to apply a uniform system to be fair to all parts of the country.
