Tom Morrissey (Progressive Democrats)

I refer to the provision of a primary school in a fast growing area in my constituency. St. Patrick's national school in Diswellstown, Castleknock, has been operational for three years with a complement of 280 students. Next year, because of constraints of space, the school will be able to take in just two classes. The Department of Education and Science must make provision for a site and decide with what method of construction or partnership model it intends to proceed. I do not want to make a big issue of the delay, but it is time the community was given the green light.
