Mr. Hubert Loftus:

It is relative. We are adding capacity at primary and post-primary level. The Chair mentioned Dunamase College. The Department of Education gave the green light for that project to go to stage 2B at the end of quarter 1. My understanding is that within a couple of weeks, the design team will lodge an application for planning permission for that project. The Department is dealing with capacity pressures and managing those. The Chair can rest assured that we will make sure short-term and long-term needs will be addressed.

This does not come as a surprise to the Department. We have our forward planning and child benefit data. We will liaise with the local authority.
