Yes. Senator Moran also inquired about the position with junior cycle reform, as did Senator O’Donnell. There is generally a strong commitment to junior cycle reform, but teachers are concerned about specific issues, mainly relating to assessment rather than the form of the curriculum. I have had one meeting with them already and I intend to meet them again in October. I have engaged with all of the other education partners on the issue as well. The concept of reform is positively received. I do not wish to say more about it as I intend to give teachers the space they need. I will now turn to what Senator D’Arcy said.
