Every year where I live there is a scrap for school places. Sometimes schools are asked to accommodate additional students and prefabs can be put in at fairly short notice for them. Presumably there is some budget for this every year. Will the witnesses give us an indication of this particular aspect where each year the Department must provide at a late stage for the accommodation of students at primary and second level? Will they give us a note on this so that we can see this type of last-minute piece?
