Free Disney beginners football for young girls

“We need clarity about whether funding for all 58 projects will be decided all together or on a case by case basis. If it is the 58 together, this will be devastating for many schools anticipating the commencement of building.

“In my own constituency of Dublin Bay North every year we have parents scrambling for places in primary and secondary schools particularly across the northern fringe of Balgriffin, Clongriffin and Baldoyle. These delays can only exacerbate this problem,” he said.

“Schools that have been delayed must be given assurances by the Department that they will be able to go to tender next year and commence building works. Otherwise, there will be an insurmountable backlog of school building projects in the system,” he added.

Ms Foley said her department was continuing talks with the Department of Public Expenditure to ensure funding for the 58 projects was released as soon as possible.
