I think what the Minister and the Department are saying is that the school has done all the preparatory work and it comes down to whether extra funding will be provided to build more schools, whenever the next round of funding is made available beyond the current capital list. I appreciate the Minister of State may not have the answer now but could he tell me afterwards what plans there are to build new schools and provide extra funding for new schools? If there is no plan until 2018 that is bad news. The pupils, parents and staff would welcome clarification so that they know exactly where they stand.
