School Accommodation
Seanad Éireann — 2023-09-27
============================================================

Josepha Madigan (FG), Dublin Rathdown

I can only imagine how frustrating it has been for the school. This pyrite issue came up through no fault of its own and, indeed, through no fault of the Department I would add. It is just one of those things that happened. It is regrettable that there have been delays, however, not just for the SEN and special education end but for the whole school with its 500 pupils, as the Senator mentioned. I will be doing all I can to make sure this meeting goes ahead, which it will. I am not 100% sure if it is with the planning and building unit, but it certainly will be with Department officials who will be able to communicate with the planning and building unit with regard to making an effort to getting these issues resolved as soon as possible. Certainly, in my own remit and in my capacity, I will be doing everything to keep an eye on this to make sure it is expedited.
