Mr. Hubert Loftus:

It can depend on whether the site is for a primary or a post-primary school. It can then depend on the size requirement. For example, in Leitrim a small primary school might be needed. In south Dublin a big 1,000-pupil post-primary might be needed. We have guidelines on site areas. Generally, at primary level, we might need, say, two acres to five acres and, at post-primary level, eight acres to 11 acres. Those are guidelines, however. We made it more explicit in our guidelines, following the Comptroller and Auditor General's report, that this is just guidance and that the size requirements are lower in urban areas. We looked to see how we could maximise the value of sites in terms of provision. Typically, we try to have campus sites wherever we can to maximise the value.
