On budget day I was delighted to see €5 million secured by the Minister to provide a pilot scheme for in-school counselling support. I will speak on that for a moment.

Cathal Crowe: That is fantastic. It would be great if someone could nudge it. The other matter is the TUS campus at Coonagh and the vacant units adjacent to the Tesco store.
