The Minister was asked about size, type and management structures. I noticed that he carefully avoided all reference to sporting, athletic and other types of facilities for students. Would the Minister make a statement on the type of facilities being provided for students in this respect?

If the Deputy will be patient, a question has been tabled by Deputy Harte which refers to the provision of a sports complex in a school in Buncrana, and when we reach that I will have something to say on sports facilities.

This is not confined to one individual school. It is a general question in regard to type and size and it is causing a lot of anxiety——

The Deputy will not be allowed to make a speech. He will be bound by the Chair. We must be bound by rules of decorum and dignity during Question Time.

May I have a reply to my question?

I share the Deputy's disappointment that the previous Govvernment saw fit to remove from the provision of post-primary schools the question of providing suitable sport complexes. It is my concern that that position be remedied as soon as possible.

The Government have been in office for ten months and they have done nothing.

The Minister should put his money where his mouth is.
