Mr. Hubert Loftus:

That priority ultimately pans down into the additionality that needs to be provided in particular areas to add to capacity. The Deputy referenced the Temple Carrig School and it is in early design. St. David's college in the same town is a recently completed project. Greystones Community College is a huge 1,000 pupil flagship project. A letter of intent has been issued and a letter of acceptance is to issue shortly. Kilcoole, which is the neighbouring school area, has a project in late design. We are adding huge capacity when it comes to forward planning.

To give a sense of the scale of what we are delivering, out at construction currently, there is €1.2 billion worth of projects. There is 350,000 sq. m. of accommodation being provided in terms of construction recently completely and another 200,000 sq. m. being added. That relates to the equivalent of nearly 7,000 primary classrooms and if one were to place them back to back then it is nearly the equivalent of 7 km of accommodation. That is huge delivery, strong delivery and very strong forward planning.
