Ms Tina Merron:

They use mobiles on a temporary site which is rented for a period of time until the school is established. It is easier to do this with a primary school because one needs fewer facilities but post-primary schools are different. Jake's school was a post-primary school, one of three we were funding for a period of two or three years at the same time. The IEF funding was very important at that time and we had to raise it ourselves. There are fewer schools being built nowadays but existing schools are growing and other schools are transforming to integrated status because there is an overprovision of places in Northern Ireland.
