Roderic O'Gorman (GP), Dublin West

I am raising the school building needs of Gaelscoil Coláiste Mhuire in Dublin's north inner city. As the Taoiseach knows, the school had been temporarily located on a site in Parnell Street for 23 years and it is long overdue its move to a new building on Dominick Street. Right now, it is occupying the former DIT building on Cathal Brugha Street. Construction on the new building finally started in 2023 but then building came to a halt in May 2025 due to a contractor issue. It is not fair that the school community has been left in the dark over the status of this new building. The parents, students and staff of this school have been incredibly resilient and they deserve better. When will work resume on the new building? Will the school be able to remain in the temporary premises on Cathal Brugha Street in the meantime? Can this information be provided directly to the school community? That third point is really important.
