I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Curran, who has been in the House since lunch time, for the response on behalf of the Minister for Education and Science. I will continue to lobby the Minister on this matter. Given that the Minister of State, Deputy Curran, is in the House, I believe it is opportune to thank him and the Minister for Education and Science for the commitment of €480,000. Perhaps we could use leverage to impress upon the Department of Education and Science that the Department's contribution of €480,000 plus the local contribution of €100,000 almost amounts to €600,000. Perhaps we could use this as leverage to allow the Minister for Education and Science to proceed with the project. The local community is very thankful for the Department's commitment and we will continue to impress this point upon the Minister. When I next see the Minister I will extend a very warm invitation to visit Gaoth Dobhair, view the facility and to explain how urgent this project is to the local community.
