There has been huge investment by the Government in primary education. I have heard many positive announcements by the Minister, Deputy Foley, in my constituency. There is one outlier, though. Tubber national school dates back to the 1870s and is absolutely hemmed in and crowded. It is on a triangular site with two very busy roads straddling it. It has no space to expand. On certain days of the week, the teachers ask the pupils to leave their schoolbags at home because they cannot fit in the classroom. I was a teacher for 16 years. I am alarmed by the conditions in the school. The Department of Education urgently needs to come out to inspect it. This needs to be green lighted for a new build on a new site that the school and diocese have acquired.

I welcome the fact the Deputy has raised this issue. Obviously, movement and progress is needed on it. He said the diocese had acquired a new site. The most significant thing in terms of a new school is that the site has been secured. I will speak to the Minister for Education but the fact that the site has been secured facilitates the progression of the project. If one does not get a site, sometimes it can go on for far too long.
