I appreciate the Minister of State's comments but he has not given me new information. He gave me information that I already knew or discovered. The argument stands because he said that enrolment has remained static. The enrolment has remained static principally because the school cannot cater for any more students because the buildings are bursting at the seam. From my experience of other schools, and other schools in Dundalk who deservedly got their projects, this school has been seriously curtailed. It is a minority religion school. It has been in Dundalk a long time and has a proud tradition. I ask that the Minister visit the school and reassesses his decision not to include it in the five year plan. There is a case for its inclusion.
