Mr. Hubert Loftus:

No doubt our Ministers will work through the detail of that and will make an announcement in due course. The area falls under the Minister for Education, Deputy Foley, and the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, Deputy Eamon Ryan. We are certainly conscious of getting that rolled out. Working that through will be a multi-annual programme. It is an important measure and part of our climate agenda.

In regard to the other questions raised by the Senator, I am conscious of the issues. Scoil an Chroí Naofa is a long-running saga that has been caught up in traffic management and planning issues for quite a while. I am aware that the green light has come through from a planning permission perspective. We are conscious of that. In regard to that and the other particular schools mentioned, we are conscious that they are important projects.

They are particularly important to local representatives.
