Schools Building Projects
Seanad Éireann — 2026-01-27
============================================================

Robbie Gallagher (FF), Labour Panel

I thank the Minister for her response and concur with her 100%. There was a very warm feeling from her visit last week. Every time I go into or come out of that school, I feel good because, as the Minister herself said, speaking to parents and hearing how the opening of that school has transformed their lives completely is a hugely positive thing. I commend everyone involved in getting this open.
We look forward to the expansion to the rear, which will potentially consist of six modular units. In tandem with that, it is vitally important that we do not lose sight of the fact that this is an interim facility and that we must now seek a site somewhere in the county. I am sure there are lands available that could become the site of a purpose-built facility, which is much needed. If I took the Minister up correctly, work to find a site is ongoing at the moment. I think that is what she said. Perhaps she could clarify that for me.
