I understand there are processes. I have had initial conversations with the school and with the Louth and Meath Education and Training Board, LMETB. Those will continue in the near future and an overall plan is probably required. My youngest son Turlough attends the school. Turlough is autistic. He is in mainstream school. I can only say, once again, very positive things. I was only making the point about the communication from the SENO in relation to the fact the area is constrained. The post-primary school population is to increase. There are a number of developments in Haggardstown in close proximity. Beyond that, we are talking about in or around 740 students attending the PLC college at this point, with that number expected to increase by possibly 100. We just do not have the space. This is a conversation that will involve the Minister and the Minister, Deputy Harris. I will be dealing with the LMETB post haste.
