Adjournment Matters. - School Accommodation.

 

I call on the Minister and the Department to respond to the crisis I have identified. Lucan should be treated as an emergency area. Emergency prefabricated accommodation should be provided for new and established schools which have requested it. I know many schools have requested additional accommodation, including Griffeen Valley Educate Together national school. The Department should acquire the reserved sites for schools as soon as possible and start building permanent school buildings. A lot can be done now. Emergency prefabricated buildings must be provided. If they are provided this September on the reserved site for Griffeen Valley Educate Together national school, it will be able to take in two new junior infant classes. If it does not happen, the people concerned may not have anywhere else to go. This issue requires an emergency response.
