asked the Minister for Education if he considers that children of a particular school/parish and community such as those attending St. Ciarán's national school in Hartstown should be provided with adequate accommodation in their own school, both now and in the years to come; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As it is understood that there is sufficient national school accommodation available within a reasonable distance of St. Ciarán's national school, Hartstown, the need for additional classrooms at St. Ciarán's does not appear to be justified.
