Mr. Hubert Loftus:
We are fully aware of that pinch point. It is a key priority for us in the Department to deliver on those schools. We have an agreement in principle in terms of the site. As the Deputy said, there was NAMA involvement. It took a while to get it over the line. We have been looking at our best delivery mechanisms to deliver on that project. It will be a major campus project and it will be great when it is done. Obviously, it is taking longer than we would have liked given the issues in terms of getting the site. We can provide an update note to the Deputy.
