There are seven minutes left so I will take them myself. I will put seven on the clock and we will finish then. I want to bookend a number of issues raised. The first one is the issue of the special classes, which I will come back to Ms Griffin on. She stated earlier there was a problem with some schools rolling out special classes and mentioned south County Dublin and Cork. She said that the reasons for that were varied but two of the main reasons, as I think she put it, were a lack of space and a lack of outdoor areas. Were they only identified this year in respect of those schools or have they come up year-on-year in the same schools?
