The Department of Education has not sufficiently invested in school buildings in Dublin South Central. Our Lady of Good Hope special school still does not have a PE hall. Parents in Bunscoil Synge Street contacted me recently about the Catholic Guides who are selling their community hall on Synge Street facing the school. Bunscoil Synge Street and the secondary school are growing schools. Here is an opportunity to invest in much-needed school buildings in the area. Will the Department of Education buy this hall for the school so that at least one school can have proper resources as a first step to correcting the lack of investment in Dublin South Central schools?

I thank Deputy Costello for raising the issues for Our Lady of Good Hope and for Bunscoil Synge Street. I know he raises on a very regular basis the issue of schools' capacity and facilities in his constituency of Dublin South Central. At Cabinet today we just agreed a very significant Supplementary Estimate for the Department of Education recognising its capital needs. I will ask the Minister to respond to the Deputy directly on the project he mentioned.
