Cahir school building
Deputy Mattie McGrath demanded progress on long-promised accommodation for the two Cahir schools and said the children were in appalling conditions. The Minister of State said she would ensure he got a response that week, but the Deputy insisted the school itself was needed.
There is a commitment in the programme for Government to the schools and school building accommodation. Our Lady of Mercy's girls' school in Cahir and Cahir boys' national school have been promised an amalgamation and a new building for 30 years. The children, teachers and staff do their best in appalling conditions. When and where is this building going to proceed? When are we going to have proper accommodation for the young people of Cathair Dhúin Iascaigh? I want answers. We want to see this work. The Sisters of Mercy have given a site for the amalgamated building and we are grateful for that. A lot of work has been done by the boards of management and parents' councils. We need to see action on this building.

We need the school, not a response.
