I thank the Minister of State for his reply. Before I start, I wish to acknowledge the presence of Debbie Lynch and Sineád Creamer who are seated in the Gallery. They are parents who have children attending the school and are very involved in this project.

St. Molaga's school has educated generations of children in Balbriggan. The school has built up a great history and culture. It has an excellent reputation and excellent school results. We acknowledge that there have been a lot of new schools built in Balbriggan. However, it is essential that St. Molaga's, which has existed for a long time, is not forgotten in the mix.

The Minister of State has stated that a consultation will begin but did not stipulate a timeline, which is the problem. The people in St. Molaga's need a definite timeline so they can plan and structure activities. His response is unsatisfactory and I would like him to address the actual timeline.
