Vote 26 - Office of Minister for Education (16 May 2024) Cormac Devlin: I welcome the witnesses. I thank them for the briefing documentation they supplied. A number of issues and points have already been raised and made by my committee colleagues, especially around school transport. One particular issue crosses with special needs education. There is an ongoing issue with transportation to St. Augustine's School in Blackrock. A combination of school buses...

Vote 26 - Office of Minister for Education (16 May 2024) Cormac Devlin: I thank Ms McNally and Ms Mannion for the comprehensive update. I hope the measures outlined will further increase the provision of the summer programme. On the point of teachers who do not work during the summer, some of whom have to sign-on, is there any engagement between the Department of Education and the Department of Social Protection to try to formalise and modernise the process?...

Vote 26 - Office of Minister for Education (16 May 2024) Cormac Devlin: That is great. It is welcome. I will turn to prefabricated buildings, an issue that was raised by colleagues earlier. I will give an example from my constituency, of Gaelscoil Phádraig in Ballybrack, which has been waiting for almost 30 years. It is not all the Department's fault. It is also reliant on another school being built for Ballyowen Meadows Special School so there is a...

Vote 26 - Office of Minister for Education (16 May 2024) Cormac Devlin: Where the Department has access to a site, such as with Gaelscoil Phádraig, and 30 years later the prefabricated or modular buildings are still being replaced, that is nonsensical.

Surely the Department takes a look at those temporary sites with a view to utilising them on a more permanent basis with more permanent structures.

Vote 26 - Office of Minister for Education (16 May 2024) Cormac Devlin: I thank Mr. Loftus for that. The issue of Gaelscoileanna was mentioned earlier and south County Dublin in particular. There is a huge demand for Gaelscoileanna in south County Dublin which is wonderful for education through the Irish language. In Cherrywood where the new town is being constructed, a number of schools are planned. I know a Gaelcholáiste is proposed there which I would...
