Mr. David Corrigan:

Yes, we have engaged with them together with the Department of Education and Skills. Our representatives were engaged with the schools at a local level throughout the project and continued to engage with them throughout the first half of 2018. We attended several meetings held in the Department's Tullamore office, which were chaired by senior officials. We tried, as best we could, to keep the representatives of the schools and their boards of management updated as things developed through the first half of 2018. The Department provided a weekly update to the schools by email and we are in contact with them when we go to site and by telephone.
