We engage with all the stakeholders through forward planning, etc. We look at the local authorities and know their projections. We look at housing developments and many other different things in forward planning or future planning. I cannot give the Deputy a specific answer on Sixmilebridge and whether there is sufficient demand there. I will have to revert to the planning and building unit and will come back to the Deputy with more detail on that. They would obviously have to identify a core need in the area.

I hear what the Deputy is saying about people going from Clare into Limerick. There is always the issue of people being close to the border. There is a new ETB school in Limerick as well. I hear what the Deputy is saying specifically about the Clare area in terms of Sixmilebridge. I will revert to the planning and building unit and come back to the Deputy.
