Ms Cynthia Deane:

It is, but the demographic trends are going upwards. Carlow is now becoming a suburb of Dublin and a commuting town. It is a great place to live and many people are attracted to live there. It is an hour's commute from Dublin and housing is picking up, so we are very confident that we will fill that school in four to five years and, indeed, that it will be bursting at the seams.
