I thank the Minister of State. I appreciate that he has been sent with a reply from the Minister for Education and Youth. It is disappointing that the Minister herself is not here, considering the importance of this school project and the unacceptable delays with it. The reply the Minister of State has been provided with - I thank him for sharing it with the House - basically confirms everything we all know. I ask him to go back to the Minister and her officials and specifically request that she Minister will meet me, the other public representatives from Dublin Central and the parents committee to discuss with us how this issue is going to be resolved, how she is going to ensure that construction recommences, and what arrangements she is going to put in place for the school so that there is a date by which the construction will be completed and those involved know where they are going to be attending come September and into next year. I would appreciate if the Minister of State could facilitate that request.
