I thank the delegation for coming to discuss an important issue which is causing communities throughout the State anxiety, stress, concern and fear as regards the handling of education. There appears to be a poor forward planning process in place. That is certainly evident in my constituency of Wicklow. How would the witnesses sum up the Department's current approach to forward planning, school places and the progression of new school buildings?
