Paul Donnelly (SF), Dublin West

I would like to raise the issue of Riversdale Community College. I visited the school in the last couple of weeks to check in on the works going on with Danu special school. To say I was shocked to see the condition of the school is an understatement. It resembles a building site with only one way in and one way out. This work was due to start in the summer but it appears now that it will continue up to next April, May, June or July. Nobody knows when it will be concluded because the communication with the Dublin and Dún Laoghaire Education and Training Board, DDLETB, is absolutely shocking. The substantive issue is much worse. The Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, and the Minister of State, Deputy Madigan, have both visited this school. As they know, the roof is leaking like a sieve and there are buckets all over the school. The school received confirmation that some work is to be done to the roof but it is unsure, again because communication with the DDLETB is poor, where the work will be done. This is galling for parents and students-----
