I thank the Minister of State for coming in to answer the question. It is disappointing to hear that no money will be made available until 2026. This has been going on since 2023. I ask that the Department pay a visit to the school, along with me, to see the problem. I am here to try to help the people of my area. I hear about this weekly from parents and grandparents. They ask why this is happening in Donegal and they are not being looked after. This happened in 2023. It is totally unacceptable. I do not mean to get at the Minister of State. No funding is to be made available until 2026, but this is a priority. We are here to help people. To say that nothing is available until 2026 is disappointing. I ask the Department to come to the school and stand with me for a couple of hours to see the amount of traffic going past the school and what needs to be done.
