The Deputy should table the matter. Four Deputies have been waiting. I will take 30-second questions, and I mean 30 seconds.

I thank the Ceann Comhairle for exercising his discretion. My question is to the Minister for Education and Skills on the programme for Government commitment to develop our schools, in particular the three-school campus in Buncrana. Will the Minister confirm that progress is being made and whether the Department is still seeking to purchase the priority site?

The programme for Government contains a commitment to ensure Ireland's green isle image informs Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine policy. It also includes commitments on afforestation and recognising its carbon sink value. However, people in the Toon Valley near Macroom are struggling to come to terms with how those commitments fit with the issuing by the Department of a licence for the removal of parts of Silvergrove Wood. While it is not part of the Gearagh special area of conservation, it is just upstream from it and is subject to an application for SAC status. One would have expected the application to raise a red flag in the Department in relation to the issuing of a licence. How does the licensing fit with the commitments in the programme for Government referred to? Should a red flag not have been raised?

Over the past two years, the local improvement scheme has been introduced. I acknowledge the work of local authorities and the many families who have benefited from the scheme over the past two years. It is important going forward to have such schemes in place. I ask the Minister for Rural and Community Development what his plans are for my area under the local improvement scheme.

I raise the issue of Clogheen post office. I was given a commitment by An Post that it would be kept open for a reasonable period while alternative premises were being located. An Post is now reneging on its obligation, notwithstanding the fact that the town meets all of the qualifying criteria for the provision of a post office service. Will the Minister ensure the post office is kept open until alternative premises can be found?

I ask the relevant Ministers for 30 second replies.

The local improvement scheme has been reintroduced and we have put a substantial fund in place. Deputy Eugene Murphy is leaving, but as with the jobs and towns and villages schemes, a substantial amount of money has been provided in Roscommon and a substantial number of jobs have gone to Roscommon too.

No, not in Roscommon; not for Boyle, Strokestown or Ballaghaderreen.

I was delighted that further jobs were announced last week in Castlebar, County Mayo, and a substantial number in Castlerea also.

Perhaps on the Mayo side of Ballaghaderreen.

I note that 58% of jobs created in recent years have been created outside Dublin in the regions. The local improvement scheme will be open again very shortly.

The Minister said the exact opposite a couple of weeks ago. He said regional balance was the biggest problem facing rural Ireland.

Order, please.

Donegal is now on the agenda. I confirm to Deputy McConalogue that my officials and representatives from Donegal County Council are very engaged on acquiring a site. I was in Crana College last Monday week and had the opportunity to meet the principal and other staff. Their sense of urgency is a focus, and I will have an opportunity on Friday, when the Deputy will no doubt also be in attendance, to meet the education and training board in Letterkenny to ensure this stays live on the agenda. There is a local solution, but it will require intense focus at local level, county council level and on the part of the Department. It is a focus in my contact and communication with the schools and the education and training board. We have to find a solution. People are getting frustrated. The Deputy and I want to see this progress, as do the politicians on the ground. It is to be hoped the engagement on Friday will help us to keep this firmly on the agenda.

The licence to which Deputy Aindrias Moynihan refers for the Toon Valley wood is a thinning licence and it remains suspended pending an investigation by the Forest Service.

I thank Deputy Cahill for his question but I will have to raise it directly with the Minister.
