Emer Higgins (Dublin Mid West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

This day last week I sat in the schoolyard of Gaelscoil na Camóige. Thankfully it was not a day like today because regardless of the weather, the 30-year celebrations for this school would have to have happened outside because it has no other option. After 30 years, there is still no permanent building for Gaelscoil na Camóige. Unfortunately, it is just one of a long list of schools in my area awaiting a permanent building, an extension or a new school. These include Gaelscoil na Camóige, Scoil Chrónáin, St. Thomas, Scoil Áine Naofa, Divine Mercy, Gaelscoil Chluain Dolcáin, Educate Together National School Rathcoole, Gaelscoil Lir in Saggart, Griffeen Community College, Lucan Community College, Coláiste Pobail Fóla in Saggart and my own secondary school, Holy Family Community School, which we all expected would break ground this year. When will bricks be laid in school yards in my constituency?
