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

Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

I thank the Deputy for raising this issue and for the way she illustrated the serious impact this is having on the community college. I too commend the advocacy of the students. I take her point that they should not have to be doing this, but the pride they take in their school community and their own education is commendable. I certainly urge them to feel free to write to me or the Minister for education. I would be happy to revert to them on this as well. I will ask the Minister, Deputy Naughton, to come back to the Deputy directly on this. I know that the education capital plan is due to be published imminently, in the next couple of weeks. I will ask that the Minister looks at it in that context and comes back to the Deputy directly.
