I wish Fr. Conlon well. As the Senator said, Duleek's loss is Drogheda's gain. I also wish Fr. Ferris, Fr. Kelly, Fr. Lynch and Fr. Brennan the best of success in the future in all their endeavours.

To conclude on the matter of Duleek school, I heard the Senator's list of further complaints, for example, the partition not being installed correctly, the building management system not working and, according to her, the blocking of the heating system. She also mentioned puddles of water on the floors, which I am not sure has been rectified. The Senator is pointing to the roof, that it is directly from the roof. I have a note of all those issues. It is very regrettable that this happened. Obviously, there is poor workmanship, and I am sure the Department is liaising with the original builders and contractors as well as JJ Rhatigan and Company to ensure this is expedited and the school brought up to a reputable standard as soon as possible.
