Mr. Hubert Loftus:

The planning and building unit has about 200 staff and we are increasing that staff. As part of strengthening capacity in terms of project delivery, an element of that is the strengthening of the staff of the planning and building unit, but it is also adding capacity to our key stakeholders, which includes the likes of the education and training board, ETB, sector, which we use quite a bit for project delivery, and we would have other delivery mechanisms as well. We will look at all of that in the round rather than just looking at the staff in Tullamore.

With regard to the issue the Deputy has raised in regard to St. Brendan's Community School, we have a dedicated email address for Oireachtas Members.
