Maria Corrigan (Fianna Fail)

I thank the Minister of State for stating he would bring my comments to the attention of the Tánaiste. I appreciate the points made and that a grant of €10,000 has been made available, but the school is facing exceptional circumstances. Since it is housed in temporary accommodation in prefabs, it does not have a playground and the space in which children can play is limited. Neither does it have any old physical education equipment. The Minister of State is right about the importance of physical exercise. As the children vary in age, the equipment that is appropriate for use by one group of children is not appropriate for use by other age groups. This places the limited resources available under pressure. As this is an exceptional case, I would appreciate it if consideration could be afforded to the matter.
