I have a couple of questions myself before I bring in the other speakers. On 4 July we had the Holy Family School for the Deaf in Cabra, Dublin 7 before the committee. Mr. Kelly and Ms Mannion were here that day as well. The issue of the school's new building was raised. Will Mr. Loftus give us an update? Mr. Kelly tried to give us an update on July 4 but he did not have the specifics so we said we would put it on the list for today. The school is operating on two campuses at the moment, which is completely unacceptable. It is not suitable for such a school. The school has been with the school building unit for quite some time. I would like for this new school building to be expedited as quickly as possible. I realise that there are intricacies around that but I would like a brief update as to where it stands at the moment. I would also appreciate if Mr. Loftus will give the clerk of the committee a fuller update to enable us to get back to the school because we said that we would do so the next time the school building unit appeared here.
