The line in the script which relates to the question I posed states: "The design of the building lends itself to conversion to a permanent primary school...". In addition, it also indicates that the accommodation could be relocated elsewhere. This is the most farcical thing I have ever heard. Is the Minister of State seriously indicating that the building can be dismantled and transported elsewhere for re-erection? If that is the case, then he should allow the politburo to have full control and should not return to this or the Lower House. I do not say that lightly. There is a school in the town of Gorey which has had the worst of facilities for the past ten years. I refer to St. Joseph's CBS, which, despite the state of its facilities, is last on the list. The question I asked was a simple one. However, the politburo has not provided an answer in respect of it. I ask the Minister of State to return to his Department and obtain an answer for me. Is it intended to relocate St. Joseph's CBS to the building in question, or is it intended to dismantle it and re-erect it elsewhere?

I thank the Chair for indulging me, but I really become annoyed when answers such as that which the Minister of State read into the record are offered. Answers of that nature are really disrespectful to me and every other Member of the House.
