I thank the Minister of State for her response. I did try to be more specific in the motion tabled but it can be difficult to have adjournment matters selected if they are too specific. As requested, I will provide the Minister of State with the details and will take up the matter with the building control unit. The Minister of State outlined in her reply the guidelines in regard to what needs to be governed in planning terms in regard to the location of a school. In this instance, the local authority has not done its job properly. It has now an opportunity to rectify this. At the very least, it should give priority to this matter, particularly as what is involved is the safety of children.
