Mr. Jim Breslin:

Last year we took 16 year olds, and on average at the moment we have 17 of them. There were only ten 16 year olds in St. Patrick’s. The number has risen significantly since we were given responsibility for it. There are between 25 and 30 seventeen year olds. The first phase of the €50 million development will deliver some new units that will be able to take the 17 year olds.
