The proposed facilities were mentioned in the question. This issue remains a concern. The Minister of State referred to the possibility of finance been realised from the other site, but when I spoke with CEIST last night, it stated that it had no plans and did not know to what use the site would be put. Perhaps it could have another educational use. One could argue that, in the meantime, kids will be short-changed in terms of their physical education. Currently, all of these needs must be outsourced, as it were. The Presentation is doing a good job in that regard, but it would be better were that education provided in-house. Will the Minister of State clarify policy on the gym, given what has been learned from other settings?
According to the Minister of State, the patron "advised the Department that it accepted the report's recommendation".
