I am hopeful of a favourable response from the Minister who is doing very well in her job so far. I wish her every success in her role, which is a very important portfolio.

I was contacted recently by my party colleague, Councillor Damien O'Reilly, who has met parents and the board of management of St. Peter's national school in Dunboyne, a relatively new school which has been in temporary accommodation on a temporary site for quite some time. The Minister is aware of the details of this case and it is long past time for this school to get a permanent building. The school has done tremendous work in the area and is unique in terms of its establishment in modern times. Having discussed this matter with the Minister previously, I know she is positively disposed and I look forward to her response.
