Scoil Mhuire Milford, County Donegal, is a school that was built in the 1950s. It sits right on the corner of a very busy road junction but the facilities are completely inappropriate. You would have to see it to believe how bad it is. Somehow, the school delivers an incredible education to its children. It has secured a new site at no cost to the State. It is within the control points of the town, Donegal County Council is happy with it and it is across from Loreto Secondary School. Everything is there, which is an incredible situation. The school has presented that to the Minister. It was a commitment before the election that inspectors would come out and this would all be examined, but it appears to be going nowhere. Will the Minister urgently intervene to get an update from her officials, look through the documentation and, if she will be in Donegal soon, to see this for herself? She will be shocked at how poor the conditions are and how incredible it is that the school delivers an education to those kids. It has given the Department a site and everything else on a plate. I ask the Minister to please sort this out.

I acknowledge the teachers, the wonderful SNAs and special education teachers and everyone in our schools for the fantastic work they do. While billions of euro has gone into our schools portfolio in recent years, there is obviously more we need to do. I am very aware that there are schools that need replacement buildings and extensions and where further progress needs to be made. I am happy to engage on the school in question to see what progress can be made to ensure it has the resources it needs to support teachers.
