I apologise for being late. Thank you, Chair, for accommodating me. I welcome the three witnesses. I come from an education background myself. We have all heard good news stories in the committee in that more people than ever before have received higher offers in terms of the allocation of third level places. We have also come across tough stories from people who in many cases seem to have a legitimate grievance in terms of being disadvantaged by the system that was applied. As other speakers have acknowledged, as the crisis was unfolding, decisions had to be made very quickly. I commend the Department and the Ministers on the actions they have taken heretofore. That said, I believe it is important to have reviews to learn from mistakes. I apologise if my question was asked earlier. In terms of errors that were made, I assume mistakes like the coding error would not happen again. Looking ahead to 2021, I understand a review is currently under way. Could we get a brief rundown of the status of that and when we are likely to see a report or any recommendations? It is not just for the purposes of finger pointing, but to get things right if we do have to engage in the process again in 2021.
