"This is a huge responsibility and I look forward to taking up this challenge."

Deputy Clarke is also working on matters for her constituents in Mullingar, and today, during Dáil Leaders Questions at The Convention Centre, she pressed An Taoiseach Micheál Martin about the delays to the building of the new Curraghmore NS

"I asked him whether he could tell these people to their faces how six classes of children, who will have no classrooms, can expect to be educated during the next school year."
