I have a supplementary question for Mr. Loftus. Going back to the issue of inflation and supply chain management framework agreement that was brought in, I understand that it is a voluntary scheme for schools. There is nothing to coerce them into engage in it but at the same time, it is difficult enough to find people to tender for some of these projects.

Would Mr. Loftus envisage any review of the guidance that is given to schools being completed, be it from the Department of Education or the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform, in order that schools would engage in a more progressive manner than in the case I referred to where a school just gave a blanket refusal and said it would not engage? Is there anything Mr. Loftus would like to say about progressing the issue?
