I appreciate the Minister's response. It is catch-22 for the school and others. A gaelscoil in Buncrana, County Donegal, is also in a catch-22 position. If the current accommodation complement is not up to the required standard then parents will send their children to an upgraded school. It is unfair to penalise a school simply because it has not got the standard of accommodation to attract new pupils and increase its numbers. If a new school was built pupils would want to attend, given the nature of the adjacent sports facilities. I understand where the Minister is coming from. It may be simplistic but I plead with him to examine it again. I am available to give him any assistance that he requires. I do not want to play politics because I know that he is genuinely concerned. I ask him to examine the project favourably given how far it has come over the past number of years. Go raibh maith agat.
