Mary Hanafin (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)

I assure the Deputy that as soon as the information is available, I will be happy to give it to him. We do not have a central knowledge of it because individual schools which have individual boards of management are responsible for acquiring the buildings. They seek permission from the Department, get three tenders, have to take the cheapest tender and then put up the building. In some cases, the school may no longer have use for the building as a classroom but opt to keep it to use as a store room, etc. As soon as the information is available, I will be happy to give it to the Deputy if he wishes to ask another question.
