If there is a chink of light for the Senator and people in Ballincollig in the response, it would be that upon receipt of all statutory approvals including planning permission, the Department will review and advise the patron and school authorities as to whether phase 2 will be included as part of the current project. It is not ruling out that they will progress together. I agree with the Senator. We have to learn from errors in the past. Another example is in Clonakilty. A fantastic new extension to the community college was built but the case was always made that more should be built because the population was growing so much. Within a couple of years, it was again at capacity and a further extension was required. The obvious thing would have been to go bigger the first time. All of these points will be relayed to the Minister. I advise the Senator to use the stakeholder opportunity to emphasise his point.
