I have a question regarding the future of a school in Ballisodare in County Sligo. I asked the Minister to attend some weeks ago and meet with the representatives of parents. He did that and met them in Sligo. Parents, teachers and everybody associated with the school are still concerned about its future, however. I have been canvassing in the area in recent weeks and this is a major issue. I ask the Minister for an update.

I ask the Ministers to give us an update on those two issues.

I understand that the Minister of State, Deputy Phelan, is looking at the system of drawing up the electoral register to see if improvements can be made. There is a desire in the long term to see an electoral commission established and more systematic oversight put in place. In the short term, however, the Minister of State will be reviewing this issue and I will ask him to include the concerns outlined by the Deputy.

Is the Minister for Education and Skills going to save Ballisodare?

A collective effort is being made at political and parental level. I thank Deputy McLoughlin for raising the matter and, noting that there is another Member from the constituency present, update the House to the effect that there will be a meeting tomorrow between officials of my Department and the ETB to ensure there is a firm focus on the long-term viability of the school.
