Deputy McConalogue covered many of the issues I also wanted to raise.

Providing technical support has been identified as a significant challenge because of the diverse nature of schools and some are more advanced than others. The Department stated in its presentation that “a centralised national technical support service is not a viable option” and it will examine several pilot models. Will the Department’s officials give more information on these pilot models? Are they based on regional clusters?
