To be absolutely fair, the response to me has been a misrepresentation of what I said. I would not like it to go back that someone has said there is no school for the area. That is not what I said. What has been said is that matters have been kept under review. That is what the Department has said. That is always the case. Usually in these cases, it is not a question of whether a school is needed; rather, it is a question of when a school is needed. The idea that someone has said the school is off the agenda is not correct. The Department is well aware of this and is constantly keeping it under review. My suggestions to the Senator were to be of help, based on my own experience. Overall, my experience has been positive-----
