I am disappointed because I was hoping for clarification today. The school was originally founded in a hospital basement 39 years ago and it progressed to prefabs. It is unacceptable to have babies and young children in prefabs. Those children are the most vulnerable in the community. The Holy Angels centre does a marvellous job. The staff are excellent and the children are getting the best care they can in the circumstances. I urge the Minister of State to provide a commitment on the issue. I am disappointed but I will pursue the issue until we get the funding. A new school is needed for the Holy Angels centre.
