Some weeks ago, I was invited by the principal of St. Ronan's National School in Bawnogue in Clondalkin, which is a couple of minutes from where I live, to visit the school. It is a fantastic place for the young people of the area. It is a DEIS school. Several prefabs were built there in the 1990s and to say they are in a state of disrepair would be an understatement. In fact, last year the school commissioned a report on the state of the classrooms and forwarded this to the Department of Education. It found they were not fit for purpose. When I and other public representatives visited the classrooms, I could not believe that children were being taught and teachers were working in conditions like these in this State.
