Will the Minister of State confirm that extensions to schools are not being deliberately delayed and that they are not included in the saving of £7,500,000 by the Department of Education?

I object to the Deputy saying that they are being delayed deliberately. As I proved to Deputy Noonan on a previous question, the delay was not in the Department of Education.
