Mr. Hubert Loftus:

I apologise to the Senator. Conscious of time, I was trying to give a high-level picture. I will share the details in order that the Senator fully understands the situation. Government policy is to achieve a target of 400 multidenominational schools by 2030. There are currently 166 either multidenominational or interdenominational schools. As part and parcel of that target, we did a pilot scheme of a reconfiguration approach last year and into earlier this year and have learned some lessons.

Arising from that we are developing a framework to increase the delivery on the target. This essentially involves reconfiguration of existing Catholic denomination schools.
