They are reserved in the development plan but they are not zoned for schools as such. The Deputy is well aware of that given the amounts of money that have to be expended on acquiring them. On the issue of site acquisition I pay tribute to the work being done by the officials at Fingal County Council who are liaising with the Department in identifying and acquiring sites for schools. An amount of work has gone into the identification and acquisition of a site for a secondary school in the Castaheany area, to which the Deputy referred.
