Professor Hyland referred to the Education (Admission to Schools) Bill, which we will be going through this time tomorrow. There are 45 pages of amendments at this point. It is something the committee feels very strongly about, which is why one of the main recommendations in our report was that the NCSE should be able to make those recommendations. The school should then get the appropriate resources straight away. It is hugely important.

Our final witness is Dr. Deirbhile Nic Craith, director of education and research with the INTO.
