Is léir dom gur scoil iontach í Gaelscoil Pheig Sayers. Tá sárobair ar siúl sa scoil lá i ndiaidh lae. This is a good news story today. It is positive progress, as Deputy Gould has articulated. A growth from 89 pupils initially to almost 300 now speaks volumes. This is an ambitious project for the school, a 16-classroom project with two classrooms for pupils with special educational needs. It is a series of processes but, as I have articulated, the tender process to appoint a project manager will be completed this week, and after that it rolls on. It is my intention as much as possible to expedite all of these issues. As I said earlier, it is usually a 12-week programme for the appointment of a design team. It is my intention to do that as quickly as possible. It is testament to the success of the school that it has grown in such great numbers. Like Deputies Gould and Ó Laoghaire, I would like to see this move as quickly as possible.
