I acknowledge my officials. They really did put in an enormous body of work to get it, in the first instance, through primary and on into post-primary level. I acknowledge that post-primary level is a very different experience from primary, with a greater number of subjects and a diversity of choice and all of that. There is a review of how the scheme worked in primary. That is very much informing how we will roll out the scheme at post-primary level for the first three years for junior cycle. It is our ambition to do that at senior cycle level as well, but it is a question of having the financial resources to do it. It is part of our budgetary considerations. We started with primary, we have moved on to junior cycle, and if we can keep things fine in a financial way, we would love to move forward.
