I hear Senator O'Loughlin's concerns, which I will be relaying to the Minister. I again thank the Senator for raising this matter and giving me an opportunity to outline the Department of Education's proposals to address a permanent and interim solution for the accommodation needs of Curragh Community School. As I said, plans are well advanced to initiate the architectural planning process for the permanent school building with the appointment of the project manager. Proposals are also being explored to address any interim accommodation requirements for September 2023. The Department of Education will continue to liaise with the patron, the Kildare and Wicklow ETB, in this regard. I will relay the concerns Senator O'Loughlin has outlined here this morning.
