Mr. Terry Sheridan:

I thank the Minister of State. We felt the period of time was reasonable in the circumstances, having regard to the fact that when school buildings are being constructed, there can be considerable delays in terms of planning, design, etc. It is a time-limited measure that is specifically limited to five years. There is no intention that these structures would ever become permanent. Basically, we felt five years was reasonable, proportionate and balanced in the circumstances.
