I acknowledge the Minister of State's work in this area and thank her for it. This applies to a number of schools throughout the country, including in my constituency of Kildare North. I tabled separate questions about them. I refer in particular to schools that are affected by increased demand due to population increases. Even new schools are not in a position to take the students. There is a necessity to accommodate such students, on foot of a previous agreement. I emphasise the importance of making that special accommodation for them at this particular stage. All delays will obviously impact severely on the students and their parents.
