I have another question. I suppose we cannot move away from this programme without talking about junior cycle reform. We are looking at the roll-out of the science programme in 2015 and there is obviously a funding issue in that regard. I know money has been set aside by the Department for the roll-out of junior cycle reform. Does the Minister want to make a general comment on the current position? We are well aware of the report that has been put forward but has not been accepted by the teaching unions and of the Minister's stance on it. Does she want to say anything in regard to how we make progress from here?
