To deal first with Deputy McConalogue's questions, we cannot finalise our costings with regard to the potential savings because both the TUI and the ASTI teacher unions have decided to ballot their members on whether they want to accept Haddington Road or not. That will not become known to us until September as they will have to wait until the schools are back before they ballot their members. Therefore, we cannot sign off on this. The primary school teachers union, the INTO, has voted in favour of the Haddington Road agreement. As the other unions have decided to ballot their members in September, I would expect we will know late in September, but that is just a guesstimate on my part.
