asked the Minister for Education in respect of Esker community college, Lucan, County Dublin if she is prepared to take any special steps to improve the pupil-teacher ratio at that college or at least to maintain it as it is; if she accepts that it makes little sense to build a magnificent college and fail to provide the minimum number of teachers necessary to give a good basic education to the students; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
