I want to address the decision announced last week to exclude St. Eunan's College, Letterkenny, from the latest school capital funding allocation. We need to be clear about this. This school was doing everything it could do, getting everything ready and engaging with the Department. Planning permission has been in place since 2022 and an agreed pathway for progression has been made. I visited the college last week. It is overcrowded and temporary buildings are now becoming permanent. The children in the community have the right to dignity and safety at home and at school but they have been failed twice now. Going from unsafe homes to unsafe learning environments is not ideal. Only one Donegal project was approved for funding, which is welcome, but other counties received multiples. I ask that the Taoiseach look at this decision and revisit it as a matter of urgency so we can work with St. Eunan's. Will the Government commit to immediately engaging with St. Eunan's College to fix this injustice? It needs all the help it can get.
