Before coming to the Order of Business, I propose to deal with a notice under Standing Order 32. I call on Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh.

Ba mhaith liom an Dáil a chur ar athló faoi Bhuan Ordú 32 chun déileáil leis an gné seo: the urgent need for the Government to proceed without avoidable delay in the transfer of patronage of schools. As demand for multi-denominational and non-denominational schools is outpacing demographic growth, in many cases a brand new school may not be warranted. The Portobello Educate Together start-up group is just one example of demand for a multi-denominational school. It has 57 children pre-enrolled to start school in September 2012 if an existing school is made available for transformation.

Having considered the matter raised, it is not in order under Standing Order 32.
