I assure the Senator that a pragmatic approach is being taken to schools like St. Paul's secondary school which are not in the so-called five-year plan. If the case they make is strong enough and stands on its own merit, officials in the Department can exercise a degree of common sense. That is obviously the case in this scenario and, as a result, I am confident that these facilities will be replaced in an expeditious fashion.
