I take it from the Minister’s last remarks that these children will be accommodated next September in Athenry and that this will happen in Clarin College. That is most welcome. The parents need to know that is going to happen. The Minister mentioned the school principals, who work together in co-operation. They are there to produce the finest education they can. In fairness, the schools in Athenry are a credit to the Department and the school building unit, SBU. I have to acknowledge what we have achieved after a campaign.

As well as that, there is ongoing work on the new Gaelscoil campus in Athenry. However, we have to think ahead, because Dexcom is now building its 1,200-employee facility in Athenry. It is being built at the moment. We do not want to wait until it comes, because it will add more demand. This is important.
