Jerry Buttimer (Fine Gael)

I thank the Minister of State for his reply, which was disappointing. In the reply there was a failure to acknowledge whether the issue regarding the acquisition of the three separate parcels of land has been resolved. Is there a date for the completion of the project? When will the Department resubmit further information requests to Cork County Council? When will the planning issue be resolved? The school has been waiting for 12 years or longer. The reply indicates bureaucracy is holding up the process. There is no mention of whether the money is secure in respect of Ballygarvan school or whether it will be lost because of the delay in planning and the lack of information. Is the money secure? These three questions have not been answered in the reply.
