Pearse Doherty (Sinn Fein)

In the Minister of State's opinion, is it good value for money, given that we are going into a budget where the Minister is telling us to tighten our belts, for a school that has been waiting for 11 years to progress to construction, where a site has been identified, with the school ready to move out last year, to apply for funding to the Government to upgrade the electrical works in the school? A week or a month later the work could be done again. The answer is "No." Anyone in junior infants would say it is not good value for money to do this work, and then have it replicated in a week or a month, when the Minister finally makes a decision.
