I would expect so. I am certainly very persuaded by it. I have two more questions which I might direct to Mr. White or to Ms O'Connor or to both of them. They relate to proposals that came forward at recent committee hearings. The first concerns the links between the school and the wider community in terms of staff. I think specifically of home school community liaison staff but also, to some extent, perhaps school completion officers. Could the witnesses comment on the role they play, whether within the historical approach or otherwise and their value, as well as whether more schools should be able to avail of them?

The other proposal that was made by the Association of Secondary Teachers in Ireland, ASTI, was that there would be a person within some of the key social media platforms to help schools navigate problematic and challenging cases, who could liaise with schools and school management bodies. Are they proposals Mr. White thinks should be taken on board and implemented?
