I ask the Taoiseach about the well-being of students in Gaelcholáiste Reachrann. As I am sure he would agree, the staff in this great coláiste are very dedicated. The students have been left in prefabs for more than 20 years, however, having been promised permanent school buildings. That is more than 20 years of waiting. There are students in prefab classrooms every day without any heating, wearing their jackets and coats trying to stay warm while they are getting taught. This is completely and utterly unacceptable. When I raised this with the Taoiseach a few weeks ago, he said he would speak to the Minister for Education about this and that she would engage directly on this. What is the outcome of the Taoiseach speaking to the Minister on this? Is she going to visit Gaelcholáiste Reachrann? When are the permanent school buildings that are badly needed going to be provided?
