School Accommodation
Dail Éireann — 2023-11-30
============================================================

Neasa Hourigan (GP), Dublin Central

First, I thank the Minister for her earlier comments in which she clearly differentiated the perpetrator of the tragic incident last week on Parnell Square from those who inhabit the streets of my constituency, Dublin Central. There is an increasing appetite for scapegoating people in addiction or who are forced to live on the street, often due to the failures of us in this House, and to link those two things. I reject that completely so I thank the Minister. The Department is focused on expediting the Dominick Street site for Gaelscoil Choláiste Mhuire and I thank the Minister for that.
On the assessment of the additional accommodation scheme application for the Corpus Christi Girls National School, what steps is the Minister taking to ensure the additional accommodation is promptly delivered and, in particular, to ensure the use of the hall as a community space?
