In relation to the school secretaries, I am anxious to see that agreement implemented. I believe that there was a hearing in the past week, ten days or so. There is a further outstanding issue in relation to pay or pay during periods of leave. I will seek an update on that from my officials and from the Department of Education but I am anxious to have that issue resolved. We all hold in high regard the work of our school secretaries and, indeed, our caretakers. I will follow-up on that and see what the current state of play is, but that is my understanding of where it currently stands. It has been before the Workplace Relations Commission, WRC, and there is now that outstanding issue that needs to be resolved.
