I do not have many questions because much of what the witnesses have said speaks for itself. The statements are stark. I am very familiar with Whitecross school. It is one of the nearest schools to me, and many of my neighbours use it. Indeed, one of my family members teaches there. When the committee was asked to pick a school there are a number of schools I am familiar with that have been on building lists for some time, including for example Lismullen, O'Carolan College in Nobber, St. Peter's in Dunboyne, but there is no doubt that Whitecross is the worst school in terms of building in my locality. It is absolutely outrageous. Despite the problems the school is fairly popular. Can Mr. Burke explain that dichotomy?

Can Ms Carr tell us more about the change of location of the bus services?
