I apologise for not being available when the Chairman invited me to speak before Deputy Ó Cathasaigh. I welcome the delegations and apologise for missing part of the presentation.

Will the various organisations give their perspectives on the in-school demonstration model, which involved 75 schools? I apologise if this matter has been covered already, but I would be interested in hearing their perspectives and whether they have any insight to give on rolling out a model like that nationally. The feedback that we received from the NCSE last week was positive, but the litmus test is the practicality of rolling out a model like this nationally, which would involve not just the Department of Education, but also the Department of Health.
