Mr. Darragh O'Connor:

Ideally and hopefully, if all works out, there will be a need for a lot more services around the place. Of course, some will be looking to the local schools and wondering why they cannot build there. The educational campus model sounds really interesting. The Senator has hit the nail on the head. The biggest problem is that the State does not own the buildings. We cannot say that we are going to build a crèche in a particular location. I do not know how we overcome that obstacle, unless there is a lot of engagement and persuasion to ensure that we bring people along with the idea. The way the system is structured at the moment, the boards of management of schools have ultimate discretion as to how the buildings are used. As a model and an idea, the educational campus model seems like an obvious solution if we need more services and we are going to have to build them.
