Harold's Cross Educate Together Secondary School is a relatively new school in the community. It started with just 38 students and has grown rapidly due to the high demand in the area. Planning permission for vital works was granted two years ago but parents, teachers and students have seen absolutely no progress since then. This is a new school with nearly 300 children that has no facilities, such as a sports hall. There is no canteen or appropriate outdoor space. These are essential for a child's development at school and a holistic education. Will the Tánaiste engage with the Minister for Education to address the delays and see what can be done to expedite the building works at the school?
