I will give the Senator a response, which is that there has been no decision. When a decision is made, I presume the board of management, the Senator and other local representatives will be made aware of it. There is a possibility the accommodation may remain in place to serve another cohort of pupils in the area. However, it could also be relocated to another part of the country. A school building not unlike this one, which was previously located in Laytown, County Meath - which was experiencing similar exponential population growth at the time - has been moved to a location in another part of the country in order to meet a pressing need for accommodation there. If the Senator continues to engage with me and to make the case for this building to be used to serve the needs of the Gorey area, I will certainly communicate his concerns and remarks to the Minister, Deputy Quinn. However, it is not possible for me to inform the Senator of the decision this evening because the decision has not been made yet.
