I thank the Minister of State for her response. I am glad some clarity has been provided. I am aware that the Department is in contact with the school, on behalf of which I have raised the issue this evening. The school was seeking clarity as to a definite timeline and a date by which students and staff could occupy the accommodation in the new building. As I said, there was concern locally about the suitability of the site in the context of an outside body or agency looking at developing significant infrastructure in the town. It was of concern to me as it is in the interests of parents, the board of management and the general population of the town that the project goes ahead as quickly as possible and that nothing stands in the way of it being expedited.
