Go raibh maith agat a Aire Stáit. The reply is quite disappointing and does not really answer the question of whether the Minister deems the school to be "fit for purpose". This is the important phrase. I understand from raising other issues for other schools about the need to build schools in areas where none is available but I do not think this gives the Government the excuse not to deal with schools which are not fit for purpose. I will await with interest to see what the inspection report says. If it recommends the school is not fit for purpose we will be pushing that more be done for the school. I note the Department may be open to having discussions with the school with the possibility of renovation work or an extension as opposed to a full build. I will ask the school to contact the Department. I ask the Minister of State to convey our disappointment to the Minister that the school is not included and that we would welcome a copy of the report on whether the school is currently fit for purpose.
