Mr. Ó Foghlú mentioned utilisation of resources earlier and he referenced a dozen public buildings that had been utilised. In the context of a changing demographic, the population centres were built on the edges of the new towns created on the eastern coast, but there were old large school campuses with few students in the towns.

The student population is falling from what it was in the 1970s and 1980s. Has Mr. Ó Foghlú looked at analysing those large campuses and how they can be utilised, given the demands for new builds on the periphery of towns?
