Looking at the DEIS schools, many targets have been reached. However, junior cycle reform is an ongoing stop-start process. However, the numeracy and literacy programme has been achieved. The FÁS transfer has been a great achievement and there have been achievements in regard to a students' survey and the technological universities Bill. I am not sure what the position is regarding the Confucius centre in UCD, whether it was a target or how it was reached. I think the Chinese built it and paid for it.
