In the programme for Government, there is reference to an inclusive vision for education. Inclusion in and access to education is the foundation for a more just and equal society. I raise the issue of Riversdale Community College and Danu Community Special School. There is a strong desire to support each other. Particularly, the Riversdale board of management supports Danu Community Special School in its desire for a new school on the large seven-acre grounds it has. However, there is shock and anger at the turn of events that will result in Riversdale losing over one third of the school permanently. The education and training board, ETB, has broken a promise made to Danu and Riversdale. The list of classes and support rooms that will be lost is of concern and includes the parents room, the art room, science rooms, counselling rooms etc. The school is also being forced to move into a darker side of the building. The Riversdale Community College board of management and parents-----

I thank the Deputy.

-----along with the teaching staff, are concerned about the future of the school. I ask the Minister-----

No, Tánaiste to respond.

-----to appeal to the ETB to go back to its original agreement with Riversdale and Danu.

We are over the time. The question has to be put before the minute is up.

The original plan was, as the Deputy described, that Danu would move into part of Riversdale Community College temporarily and a new building would be built either for the school or for Danu. I still think that is the right response and I know the Deputy and all the Deputies in the area do too. I still think that is the solution we will work towards and I am working with the Minister of State, Deputy Madigan, and the ETB on that. The school is being very generous in allowing Danu to move in to part of the school but it should not be permanent. We should be able to build a new building on that large site. That would be a solution for everyone.
