School Accommodation
Seanad Éireann — 2021-03-12
============================================================

Martin Conway (FG), Administrative Panel

I welcome this update about the future of the Educate Together school in Ennis. It is comprehensive. It is accepted by all parties that a school is needed. I welcome the fact that negotiations and the necessary work to acquire a site are at an advanced, critical stage. I understand that there are commercial sensitivities but I think that, on the record of the House today, we have it confirmed that we are at an advanced stage. Councillor Ann Norton, who is chair of the board of management, will welcome that, as will David Quinn, who is the principal of Educate Together in Ennis. Most importantly, it will be welcomed by the parents of the pupils who are attending the Educate Together school in Ennis. The Minister of State might come back to the House and update us in due course, when there are further developments and more details available.
