Mr. Brendan McDonagh:

Effectively, yes. There was also Kildare County Council raising issues as to whether the site was big enough for the schools. The Department of Education had to clarify to it that the site was big enough. As Deputy Murphy said, this is all tied up as part of the planning application for houses. It is a strategic site as far as NAMA is concerned. We have already identified it as one that should be held onto by the State for housing.
