The here and now in many ways takes precedence. If Ms Buckley is talking to the Department of Education, it is going to be important to put a system in place to make sure it is rolled out because very often, the principal or board of management will become the project manager for something like this. I know the challenge for a school when it has an extension or whatever. I do not think we can overlook the "How?" with regard to this. I would want to be convinced that the Department of Education is not just firing money at the schools and saying "Do this", but is considering the "How" at the same time. It simply will not get done if we do not consider the "How".
