I am aware of the issue of prefabs in the Lucan area and in one school in particular. We are still trying to solve the situation in that school.

In regard to Gaelscoileanna, I am aware that demand is growing, specifically in areas where the population is growing. Divestment by existing patrons might be of some help in this regard, but it is not really a solution because it does not deal with the demand in terms of overall numbers. We will simply have to work within the existing capital programme to address the demand. It is as simple as that.
