I was also going to inquire about the roll-out of broadband services. Even as recently as two years ago, broadband was not available in certain schools located in major towns. I appreciate the work the Minister and the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Deputy Rabbitte, have done in this area. In the context of the increase in the number of Brazilian and American students coming here and the recognition of qualifications, I know a number of individuals who studied abroad and who faced a battle to have the qualifications they obtained recognised here. Will the Minister provide some statistics regarding the uptake in respect of the specific programmes supporting school leadership in Ireland?
