Mr. Paul Byrne:

We are hoping to have guidelines from the Department as soon as possible. We need to begin this planning in the first week of August because to get any sort of system in place to do an audit of a school's capacity, we would have to look through what number of students can fit into each classroom. That might necessitate re-timetabling at times because the total number in a class might have to be matched with the largest classroom and certain classes in certain areas of the school would have to be prioritised. A significant volume of work needs to be done there and that takes time.

The first week in August is the latest we could expect to get a good plan done.
