I thank the Chair. I will go back to the questions from earlier. I will run over them again. On school transport, under phase 3 the report for 2024-2025 says there will be the establishment of a working group to review and identify options for potential integration between school and public transport. Has that happened? Who is on that working group and what is the timeline for producing interim or final reports? Were there any third parties involved in the production of the school transport review and who owns the raw data used for the production of the review? Is it the property of a third property or of the Department of Education? Also in the area of school transport, what about the review of pay and conditions for school bus escorts? What about the review of pay and conditions for school caretakers? Mr. Loftus touched on this a moment ago in the context of forward planning. On the data correlation from the youngest group of children to feed into needs of ASD classes and special school places, what data is correlated? How old are the children it comes from? As I said, one mother made 20 school applications.
