Mr. Dalton Tattan:

Obviously, there is a schools building programme. The challenge can be the time it takes to do that and the space available. The area with which the Deputy is familiar is very built-up and, therefore, there is more limited space than on greenfield sites or in more rural locations. That said, the work the NCSE has done and the work that was done in Dublin 15 showed that, sometimes, existing space can be made available in certain circumstances. Given the report is in regard to intake for September this year, the answer has to be within what is immediately available. That is not to say that forward planning is not important - of course it is - but in terms of the immediate issue for September, that has to be resolved through existing space being made available in those schools.
