I want to ask generally about the capital programme. When the Department provides a new school for an existing national or voluntary school that is in the ownership of a patron, what happens the ownership of the old school building or old school site if the original school has moved on? Is that something the Department takes an interest in or is it just left to the patron body to do what it wants?

Did Deputy Martin or Deputy Nolan have a question related to that further back? If not, I will call the Minister to reply.
