Seanad debates

Wednesday, 11 December 2002

I take exception to what was said by a previous speaker. As he has left the Chamber, I will not mention his name, but he was making excuses that constituents look for commitments from their politicians before a general election. He was more or less putting the blame on boards of management in communities and saying they were somehow responsible for the backtracking by the Government on this issue. Boards of management are entitled to ask questions to ascertain when work will be done or, as we now know, not done on their schools. If a commitment is given, they are entitled to see it acted upon.
