Under zoning, schools would come in under community and education. These are new ten-year development plans, and this is a good part of the Bill to in which to include these strategies. However, we should outline matters a little more clearly. The necessity for an educational capacity assessment should be part of one of these strategies. As stated earlier, we have had a lot of housing growth in north Wicklow but the development of schools has not progressed. That is the experience all around Kildare, Meath and Dublin. Maybe the Minister of State could take that one away and see what might be done.
