My understanding is that all land transfers have taken place. I would like the Minister to establish a clear timeline as to when we can expect the Department to be in a position to move to planning, design and tender. This matter has been kicked down the road by previous Governments. I am sure the issues with the Office of the Chief State Solicitor could have been resolved a lot sooner. We are where we are. The next generation of young people in north Clare who will be educated in Ennistymon deserve a much better service from the Government and Department than they are getting. I want a clear timeline, in terms of months and years, which is realistic and not one which will inevitably be broken, as to when we can expect this to move to the next phase, namely, planning, design and tender.
