Paschal Donohoe (Fine Gael)

I thank the Minister of State for his attendance. The issue I raise is the status of Gaelscoil Bharra in my constituency. I have raised this matter on several occasions in the House. A building project for the school has progressed in recent years and I understand the Department of Education and Skills is involved in discussions with staff and parents regarding the potential design of the school. I raise this issue to emphasise the need for the building project to be progressed given the long-standing poor condition of the school building. I ask the Minister of State to provide an update on what will be the position regarding funding for the building project once the design has been agreed.
