I think, unless I misunderstand the Deputy's question, that is fairly straightforward in the sense that every school will have 100 megabytes and by September 2014, every second level school in Ireland, whether in Cape Clear or in Coolock will have 100 megabytes. The Departments of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources and Education and Skills have made provision for what they call switch on workshops, which have been advocated under the national digital strategy. The purpose of the workshops is to help the weaker schools make use of the technology that is now available. It will be very interesting to monitor the progress of that programme.
