Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

In my constituency, we established an aonad, which is a Gaelcholáiste unit within an existing secondary school. It was the first time we had one in all of Dublin 15. It has been a great addition to the area, because we had two Gaelscoil, but no aonad or Gaelcholáiste. If one takes Dublin 2, 4, 6 and 8 together, that is a considerable population. I am sure the Deputy is correct in that there would be a demand for a Gaelcholáiste or an aonad lán-Ghaeilge, at the very least. I am inclined to agree with the Deputy on this, but it is the first time it has been raised with me. I will certainly speak to the Minister for Education, Deputy Foley, about it in order to see if we can make some progress on it. Given the nature of the geography, finding a site might be the hardest part. I definitely agree with the Deputy that it is a good idea.
