Part of the problem is the pipeline and how long the pipeline is. Since the possible sites were submitted to the Minister, nothing seems to have happened from the school end. Some of the children are in Marsh House, some are in Cavendish Lane and some are near the hat factory. The Minister may have heard Sarah Calvey, the principal, and Sarah Scott, one of the pupils, on "Morning Ireland" this morning describing how they have to go back and over to the different premises. It is not right in this day and age, so I ask the Minister to expedite that as quickly as possible.

The other reason I ask the Minister to expedite this is the fact that so much money is being wasted in between on heating and lighting three buildings that are not conducive to the education that can be delivered through Educate Together. It is really important that school is delivered as quickly as possible on one site. The children of Castlebar deserve better than what they are getting at the moment.
