Helen McEntee (FG), Meath East

As the Deputy outlined, this is actually a really positive story. We have all, the Deputy included, worked closely with parents over the past number of months to make sure that the additional classroom that was needed to ensure that children going from naíonraí were able to go into a Gaelscoil in their local community. That happened. I welcome the work by the Minister, Deputy Hildegarde Naughton, to support us in making that happen. My objective now, the same as the Deputy, is to make sure that the classroom, is provided as quickly as possible. A commitment was given and I have been speaking directly with Rónán, the principal, but also with the Department, to make sure that we can provide that as quickly as possible. We do not want any child to be in a classroom or an environment that is too small or that is not necessarily as appropriate as it should be. We are doing everything that we can to make sure that the classroom is provided as quickly as possible.
