I have just one final question before I bring other committee members back in. The junior certificate is a very important examination because it prepares students for the career path they might want to take. I strongly believe that students should have their junior certificate results before they choose the subjects they want to take on in fifth and sixth years. Does Ms Feeney believe that by bringing the junior certificate forward by perhaps two months it would help the SEC and also prepare students for the subject choices they would make in fifth year for the real examination of the leaving certificate? Does Ms Feeney understand where I am coming from?
