Chuir mé an cheist seo faoi bhráid an Tí ar son daltaí, tuismitheoirí agus múinteoirí Gaelscoil Ros Eo, Baile Átha Cliath.

I call on the Minister to provide an update on the progress of the provision of a new school for Gaelscoil Ros Eo in Rush, County Dublin, and on whether the Department has identified a permanent site. As the Minister of State will know, this school was approved for the 2015-16 building programme, yet it remains in temporary accommodation at St. Maur's GAA club in Rush. This club has accommodated the growth of the school to date. The last time I raised the issue of the Gaelscoil was on 13 January 2012. At that stage, the school had 96 pupils in the school. I am glad to report there are now over 133 pupils in the school.

The school would like some information regarding its position. While it has been approved on the building list, where is the new school to be situated? Has the Department identified a site and how quickly can the school expect movement on that issue? I appreciate the fact the Minister of State at the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Deputy Perry, is here to answer on this issue and I will respond in due course.
