I have another question on staffing. Much of the staffing levels are determined by the returns of the number of children to the Department on 30 September. If, however, some children will be enrolling late, perhaps because parents will not be enrolling them in junior infants because of health concerns, or parents of children have underlying health concerns themselves, what is being done to ensure that schools do not lose staff because of returns that may be unusually low on that date?
