St. Farnan's Post Primary School in Prosperous has been oversubscribed-----

Which one?

St. Farnan's Post Primary School in Prosperous. It has been oversubscribed for three years, putting serious pressure on the delivery of secondary school education in Prosperous and the surrounding area. Temporary accommodation, including a science lab, woodwork room, two classrooms, toilets and an office were coming up from a school in Monasterevin but that is only going to meet the needs of this coming year. This project has been in preplanning with the devolved section since last October and the delay is extremely frustrating. The school had been expecting to get this accommodation at the end of August but it has now been told that will not be until November. Without progress, the 1,000-pupil school is going to be facing the same crisis again and again. I urge the Minister, Deputy McEntee, to escalate this with her Department to ensure that the specialist units are served and delivered as a priority. We have to make sure that St. Farnan's will be safely able to deliver the education our secondary school children need in north Kildare.

I will ask the Minister in respect of this and indicate that the Deputy raised it, although I am not clear from the Deputy's presentation as to why it is still in preplanning or whether there were particular difficulties with the planning.

There was delays on the Department's end.

The Deputy can correspond further.

I will talk to the Minister in respect of it.
