School Funding
Seanad Éireann — 2025-04-08
============================================================

Michael Moynihan (FF), Cork North-West

There are a number of issues involved, including site constraints and the building itself. Notwithstanding the commitment of the board of management and the school community to additional special classrooms, it is important that we commend anybody who raises a hand looking for these. Not everybody does that. We have to acknowledge that.
This year alone, 53 additional classrooms are being made available in County Cork - 35 at primary and 18 at post-primary. I will continue to liaise with the school authorities to look at the issues, take the report that has come back from the technical team in the Department and work with the school community to try to find a resolution of the issue the Senator raised, but that will be in the long term rather than short term.
