I wish to raise the issue of a new library for Mary Immaculate College in Limerick. The college is to the forefront of teacher training and many Members would have constituents who are students there.

In 1978, when the library was built, 250 seats were provided for 750 students. Approximately 3,500 students currently attend the college, with the figure expected to rise to more than 5,000 by 2020. The students have made a good case to the Minister. I would like the Leader to raise the issue with the Minister because the college needs a library in the near future.
