Yes. It is something that has been very much welcomed across the board. There is every type of school and there are diverse backgrounds. They include DEIS schools and schools in rural and urban areas. It is something we want to roll out in future because it is such a success. The cost of the creative associate expertise for schools ranges from €4,100 to €5,211, depending on the school size. It is a pilot programme and the impact and cost of the model must be reviewed before being rolled out in any large way. The schools in the programme in Cavan and Monaghan include Coláiste Dún an Rí in Kingscourt, Knocktemple national school, St. Patrick's national school and St. Mary's national school in Ballyhaise. Those are the participating schools in the Deputy's constituency of Cavan-Monaghan.
