I assume I will have my full time. Last Wednesday, the Minister for education visited St. Patrick's Primary School in Celbridge, Kildare North, which the Minister of State, Deputy Michael Moynihan, also visited last May. The school in question has been in temporary accommodation for 19 years, since its foundation. The floor is collapsing and the ceiling is falling down. I have asked the Minister to ensure temporary accommodation is in put in place as soon as possible. The school cannot keep going on in this way. On the same theme of education, Stepping Stones Special School in Maynooth is experiencing severe issues with funding. The capitation afforded to the school is not significant enough. It is fundraising to pay for heating and devices for the school and for the children. I ask the Taoiseach to engage with the Department and the Minister about these two specific schools, St. Patrick's Primary School in Celbridge and Stepping Stones Special School in Maynooth.
