I find myself compelled to once again raise the situation about St. Paul's secondary school, Monasterevin. I am aware that the Minister for Education and Skills, Deputy McHugh, was here and has left the Chamber. Despite calls to his office and his Department, we cannot get any update on the court case decision taken on 4 February, where the tendering rules had to be changed. We were told that this would happen at the end of March.

Excuse me, but is the Taoiseach listening to me, or listening to the other Deputy?

We are trying to get an answer to the Deputy's question.

I have not finished my question.

At the end of March, the new tender process was to be in place. At the start of April a cast-iron guarantee was given that the new tender would be advertised. Nothing has happened to date on this or on the transfer of the lands from the present owners to the Department. This is an awful situation for the people of Monasterevin who have been waiting for 15 years for this development.

I thank the Deputy. While I appreciate that this is an important local issue, it is a local issue and I am dealing with questions on promised legislation. No legislation is promised on this matter.

There is a commitment in the programme for Government to deliver on education.

The Minister for Education and Skills is currently in the Seanad but I am advised by Deputy Heydon, who is very much across this issue and has been very much engaged with the Minister for Education and Skills on this issue, that those responsible expect to go to pre-qualification of tender very soon.

What does very soon mean?
