============================================================

Darragh O'Brien (FF), Dublin Fingal

I visited Youghal with the Deputy slightly more than a month ago. We had a good visit. We met many people from the business community, community groups and residents of Youghal. I know Youghal has taken more than its fair share of newcomers and has been a very welcoming town to people, especially those who have fled the terrible war in Ukraine. It has had an impact, especially on accommodation in the town.
I will speak directly to the Minister for Education about the Deputy's specific request for educational supports and DEIS status. We discussed a few items on my visit such as potential future public realm works in Youghal and sites that might be significant for the future development of the town that I am happy to look at with the Deputy. I thank him for his support in that regard.
