Scoil Ursula modular accommodation
Deputy Feighan raised a long-delayed prefab for Scoil Ursula in Sligo, saying the school’s current accommodation is untenable. The Tánaiste said he understood the issue concerned modular builds and would speak to the Minister and revert.
I also congratulate Deputy Chambers on his appointment as deputy leader of the Fianna Fáil Party. He has many links in Dublin, but also in the west, and I wish him well.
There is a backlog in the devolved section of the Department of Education as regards modular units for many schools around the country. One school that I am interested in is my local school of Scoil Ursula, Strandhill Road, Sligo, which my daughter attends. The school has been waiting more than a year for a prefab. The current accommodation is untenable. I have spoken to the Minister for Education. We want the Department’s devolved section to contact the school as quickly as possible.
