Pat Gallagher (Donegal, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I appreciate that the Minister cannot influence the tender process. I am not asking him to do that. I ask him to use his good offices to ensure there is a level playing pitch and that contractors in Donegal have an opportunity to tender. The project at Gaelscoil na gCeithre Máistrí needs to progress urgently. We have both been there and seen the prefabs in which the children are being taught. The high standard there is a credit to the teachers, the board of management and the children. I understood the project in Letterkenny was ready to go to tender more than a year ago. It seems to have taken a retrograde step. The Minister also stated there are also other schools besides those mentioned. That is, of course, the case. We will get an opportunity in the coming weeks to raise those schools by way of parliamentary questions as well. I ask the Minister to use his good offices to ensure these projects progress as quickly as possible.
