Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions
Dail Éireann — 2024-10-16
============================================================

Paschal Donohoe (FG), Dublin Central

I can absolutely assure the Deputy of our desire, which I am sure is the desire of everyone in this House, to continue to support the school beyond quarter 1, well into what I am sure will be an important future for it in meeting the needs and educational needs of the pupils it is looking after. To reiterate what I said a moment ago, we recognise in general the demands that schools are facing and the demands that this school in particular is facing due to the work it is doing.
On the specific questions that the Deputy put to me, first with regard to the CRC, she is right that it is in receipt of State funding, as she said, for important work that it does. I will have to find out, and am sure I will be able to, why it made the decision that it did. Second, I want to again offer an assurance that engagement is ongoing. I am sure that engagement was happening before "Prime Time" and before this question in the Dáil-----
