Matt Shanahan (IND), Waterford

I sincerely thank Ms Cáit Ní Shé, the príomhoide, and the foireann iontach she has around her, especially the múinteoirí, tuismitheoirí and an bord bainistíochta.
I will also raise the issue of site ownership. The Department has to buy that site and I ask that this be expedited. There are ongoing contracts that, hopefully, are to be exchanged. I again acknowledge the Minister's work in this area. This school is of great importance as it is a natural pivot to An Rinn in Dungarvan. It means we will now have a very comprehensive school ecosystem as Gaeilge and oideachas trí Ghaeilge, which is very important for Waterford. The excellent work being done in Waterford is giving a great grounding to children there in their culture and the tradition of Irish, which is something to be lauded.
I hope this project can progress apace and we look forward to seeing it developed.
