Mr. Hubert Loftus:

I might add that, notwithstanding the projects that might be delivered there, where we have short-term needs we might add capacity in the short term to supplement what we are doing. When we assess what is needed, there may be a short-term need to address as well as the longer term one. Ultimately, additional space will never go to waste in a post-primary school. We are all conscious of senior cycle reform and the space requirement that will flow from that. Furthermore, as we look ahead to the climate agenda, it will be important to have some capacity to move students around a school, which might help avoid or minimise the need for decanting, as might be required as part of the climate agenda. That investment now is very important and useful.
