John Lahart (Dublin South West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I know the Taoiseach would agree that the previous Government had a vibrant school building programme at primary and post-primary levels, with multiple projects in my constituency of Dublin South-West as an example. Where does the Taoiseach see the emphasis at primary level over the coming years in terms of the school building programme? Does he agree the needs of those developing areas should be monitored closely? Would he also agree with me that one of the issues that emerged in this general election, which would not have emerged previously, aside from patronage and parental choice, is actually the lack of co-educational schools available in Dublin for parents at both primary and post-primary level?
