Yes, do so please, because as an ETB with nine schools, only two of them are providing PLC courses. Some of the schools in that ETB are in very rural areas where the alternative delivery of education would not exist outside of Mullingar, Longford town or Athlone, which also has the technological university. The options for education would be quite limited. There seems to me to be a very real and tangible role for ETBs in this regard in those smaller towns.
