I have a question for the Minister for Education and Skills. It relates to the development of a three-school campus in Buncrana, County Donegal. As he will know, the Department of Education and Skills has been involved in purchasing a site to allow the development to proceed. On a number of occasions in recent years in an effort to get it progressed I have highlighted how the Government has failed to prioritise the issue. Unfortunately reports in recent days indicate that the preferred site, the old Fruit of the Loom factory, has been sold to a third party. I ask the Minister to advise the House if that is the case. I ask him to take every step possible to get the project back on track and ensure the prompt delivery of the three schools on one campus for Buncrana. We need to see an end of the lack of prioritisation of the project over recent years by the Government.
