Deputy Dillon can say whatever he wishes. He is right to advocate for his community and for schools. It is very important for Ministers to give the exact response. I cannot just come in here and talk off the top of my head. I need to get the exact position of the Department and that is what I am outlining. That is why the response is always carefully worded in these situations. However, I can assure the Deputy that the Department of Education will continue to look at and employ methods of expediting delivery of the urgently required accommodation, such as project management and modular frameworks, to ensure the required school accommodation is in place for the school year. Officials in the Department will continue to work closely with both the school authorities we have discussed and the assigned project managers to ensure the timely delivery of the accommodation.
