Mr. Michael Hourihan:

That is an easy one. It is very straightforward. Our facilities are very limited. The building was built in the mid-70s and it was specific to the requirements that were needed then but things have changed. We need bigger workshops because the numbers have increased and we need more classrooms. We are doing some of our theory for the apprentice classes online, as we speak. We need classrooms and labs. It is very simple. That is the pitch. There is no point dressing it up. That is what is required.

We have been asked to take on more numbers and we are doing that. We are converting classrooms into labs and workshops. However, we are stuck with the footprint we have. Is there any way of fast-tracking the process by which funding can be made available for building works? It is as simple as that.
