I thank the Ceann Comhairle. I congratulate the Minister and her Cabinet colleagues on the status of our current fiscal space. With this, can she consider one-off funding for school buildings in this year's budget? I am grateful to the Minister for Education, Deputy Foley, for her ongoing work in my constituency. However, I can identify at least three schools there that are beyond remedial works. I hope the Minister, Deputy Humphreys, can see this opportunity to future-proof our education infrastructure for the next 50 years by utilising some of our fiscal space.
