I can inform the Deputy, in response to her last question, that we have received sanction from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform to go ahead with the recruitment. Obviously, we will have to see how many staff need to be recruited this year. It will depend on the stage of completion. There will be a build-up towards the full use of the new units. We have got sanction to go ahead with recruitment. The Deputy also asked whether particular schools have been identified as part of the review of the school completion programme that is taking place at present. Over 100 projects are involved in that programme. The projects were concerned earlier in the year that they were not going to continue, but they have continued.
