I would like to make an observation and ask one question. I am delighted to welcome Mr. Loftus back again. We have batted here before. I consider him a fine public servant.

Many of the witnesses have welcomed the draft regulatory framework, which is good. They also have specific questions about it which need to be answered. Some very interesting observations have been made, including that 8,000 Traveller children attend mainstream education but only 3% of them go on to third level. Is that an enrolment issue?
