Cathal Berry (IND), Kildare South

I wish to raise the 58 school building projects throughout the country that are currently on hold due to a lack of funding in the Department of Education. I accept the reason for this is inflation in the cost of construction. A public meeting will be held tonight in Portlaoise regarding Kolbe Special School, which is in particular need and completely worthy of a new premises. When will additional funds come from the central Exchequer into the Department of Education so that all these 58 projects can proceed as planned?
