The 5,000 people of Monasterevin are playing a waiting game in seeking a new secondary school at St. Paul’s, the amalgamation of two primary schools and an announcement on the blueway which we hope will be made next month. In particular, I refer the Minister to the waiting game on the day care centre which closed five years ago in 2014. Thankfully, one of the local football clubs stepped into the breach, meaning that temporary facilities were provided. It is simply not good enough that nothing has been done. It is not just thjose who avail of the day care centre who have been affected. The Alzheimer Society of Ireland had a place in the Monasterevin day centre that covers all of south Kildare. It subsequently had to move to three locations.
