Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as an méid a dúirt sí, ach is trua nach bhfuil scéal níos fearr aici. It is a pity that there does not seem to be any progress, otherwise, the Minister would have taken the opportunity to announce or fill us in on some progress. All she said in relation to Scoil Colm was that it was being examined but I was told that in March, May and October. I do not expect a miracle overnight but has the examination gone beyond walking around the building? Has it looked at all the numbers in relation to children who will need such a school? I note the Minister said the NCSE has responsibility for co-ordinating it but she is the Minister and the one who has to dictate policy. There is a crying need for such a school in the Dublin 12 area so, hopefully, the next time I ask, she will have a better response.
