To reassure everybody, the 1 October deadline was set to make sure we had better forward planning. In terms of that, the Department and the National Council For Special Education, NCSE, met patron bodies and so forth, not just this year but over the past number of summers, to make sure we are matching the special classes and looking at the challenges that exist. That work is being done on a very intensive basis by all concerned. The NCSE will continue to support the families of those children who came to its attention after the 1 October deadline. There is a lot of work, whether it is in the context of existing school placements or special classes, but the NCSE will continue to work with them to ensure they are supported.

In the context of the school building, I do not have the exact detail on that project. Mr. Loftus might comment on that if he does not mind.
