Mr. Hubert Loftus:

The challenges for the planning and building unit in the last decade have been a very significant increase in enrolments and the need to cater for additional capacity requirements. Those factors have been the main drivers of our expenditure requirements where both large-scale permanent capital projects and rental accommodation are concerned. The growth in numbers at primary level has now flattened out. The next decade will see a significant decrease in enrolments at primary level. We are still in the phase of increasing enrolments at post-primary level and we will be for several years.
