I will be very quick. Senator Jim D’Arcy raised the issue of small schools. I responded to that question already.

Education and training boards, ETBs, have been excellent in terms of how they have dealt with reform and change. I met with the heads of all the ETBs. I accept that they have issues, and we are addressing them. They have big demands on them but, by and large, they have responded really well to what is being expected of them.
