This first education question relates to the announcement of the Minister for Education and Skills, Deputy Richard Bruton, of €500 million in building costs planned for school buildings over the next four years. Half of that is scheduled for September next year. It is urgent that the Minister gives us an update. Parents are wondering where are the schools they were promised. We are now looking at enrolling our children in particular schools and we do not have any information from the Minister about the schools he is planning.
