Under the education heading in the programme for Government, commitments were given on the schools building programmes. Many schools have extra pupils coming in September but no information has been received from the Department of Education and Skills about whether they will get extra rooms or temporary accommodation. It is causing significant issues nationally with regard to timetables and so forth. I presume that if there was good news, it would have been given out before the local elections. I refer in particular to Coláiste Mhuire in Buttevant which has a serious crisis in respect of the space available for the numbers coming in September.
