Mary Hanafin (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)

Regarding the schools contacted by the Department, in January we will notify the schools that will be allowed to go to tender. We will do it over a phased basis during the year. Quite a number of schools are at various stages in the process — design, architectural planning, ready to go to tender, etc. Regarding greenfield sites for the fast developing areas, a tendering document was advertised in September of last year seeking companies to build offsite and then construct onsite. I am probably not using the right terminology. It is a kind of "drop-in" facility.
