I welcome Mr. Ó hAiniféin. I thank him for coming in and I wish him well going forward. I have one or two questions. In Manorhamilton, County Leitrim, in my constituency, I see the success, the group and the amount of activity from teachers, parents and students in particular. The numbers have increased in Sligo and we are looking at a new site to expand the Gaelscoil. Great credit is due to everybody in Sligo and in Manorhamilton. It is at a very high level at this stage.

My concern is that when I am meeting parents and teachers, I am told that there are some students who are finding it difficult. Going forward, not only in the Gaelscoileanna but in the national schools and everywhere else as well, how does Mr. Ó hAiniféin see that we can improve? I know that the Minister is very anxious that this would happen, but perhaps Mr. Ó hAiniféin might elaborate on that.
