I appreciate the Minister's reply. The school cannot keep up with the number of children trying to get into it. The demand is huge. It is ironic that the numbers are dropping off in some of the other schools in the area but the birth rate in the area has grown and the school cannot keep up in terms of streaming. It is a success story and one we should reward. We will examine the proposal in regard to reconfiguration the Minister referred to but there are major difficulties within the school. There is huge support in the area for the school and no one wants to see it move out of that area.
