Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:
I do not fully understand the question but the ETBs are funded in two ways. We would provide the direct funding for the second level schooling and, indeed, the small bit of primary schooling in the ETBs. That is basically the teachers' salaries, the capitation and so forth. We also fund the head office activities. The further education and training parts are now formally the responsibility of SOLAS. We fund the teachers for the PLCs, which is part of further education because they are treated like second level teachers.
