Pádraig O'Sullivan (FF), Cork North-Central

Last year when the Taoiseach assumed office we were presented with a situation in Cork where nearly 40 families had no special education place for their children. Since that time, we have opened a special needs school in Carrigaline and last week the Minister for Education confirmed to me in the House that a site has been also selected in my own town of Glanmire for another special education school. Given the problems we have had in Cork and the bottleneck that was recognised in the past, will the Taoiseach assure the House of his full support in ensuring that the Glanmire site will be progressed as quickly as possible.
