I have some other questions about buildings and the school hall or sports hall issue. St. Fergal's College in Rathdowney has applied for a hall. There have been meetings with Ministers and Department officials. Some of the witnesses were at those meetings. The school is growing in size because there Ukrainian and international protection children in town. St. Fergal's has had planning permission for a new hall for the past ten years. The permission has been extended and extended by the local authority. New classrooms have gone in, which is good, and I acknowledge that. Great work has been done by the Department in that regard. However, the missing piece remains. The answer we have been getting is one that has been heard by other Deputies. The answer, similar to an answer given to me by Mr. Loftus, is that we will have to wait until the next phase of the national development plan. Is the answer "Yes" or "No"?
