That is disappointing, particularly considering we hear these big announcements. As elected representatives, we all deal with individuals and schools where families are in desperate need of supports for their children. In that context, we do not have a definitive number as to how many of the additional SNA posts are actually in place.

I want to touch on school buildings and get some clarification on the information in our briefing notes. Am I correct in saying that, between 2014 and 2018, the Department acquired 65 sites across the State at a cost of €135 million?
