There are just a couple of issues I wanted to raise. While we ramp up places in universities, as Deputy Ó Murchú suggested will be done based on announcements from the Minister, is there scope to use retired dentists in their first, second or third year after retirement if there is not an age limit? I ask Mr. Hourihan to clarify whether there is. Perhaps this happens anyway. I am talking in particular about the screening in our schools. Is that something that could be considered? Is that something that would work?
