I fully understand and appreciate the desire of the pupils, parents, staff and community of Naas to see their new school building completed as quickly as possible. I assure them that they can expect to see work on the new building over the coming weeks. I assure the House that KWETB, in close consultation with officials in the Department of Education and Skills, has done and is doing the utmost to progress this project as quickly as possible. In the meantime, it is progressing the additional temporary accommodation required to meet the school's needs until the new school building is ready. I look forward to seeing the community of Naas benefit from the provision of the community college over the next short number of years. By all means I will definitely take back to the Minister the concerns Senator Lawlor raised regarding funding, the three sites and the way in which procurement has been progressed. I will take those issues directly back to the Minister on behalf of the Senator and ask the Minister to liaise directly with the Senator on those specific issues.
