Mr. Pat Healy:
There will be no difficulty with us in terms of the capital and in working with the CRC and the other agencies. There will be a necessity to implement the national policy around the nought to 18 programme. Therefore, there will be some changes in how services are delivered but that should not negatively impact and should be of benefit. National research shows that where a joined-up approach is implemented, there is a better result for children, which is what we are after. There will be some impact in respect of how services are delivered, but this will not have a detrimental impact on the school, its operation and its capital funding.
