The Minister of State talked about the number of schools taking up the summer provision, indicated it is not as many as we want and said she wants to concentrate on special schools. Some principals are very precious about their school, almost as though they own the school, but the Department of Education owns the school. Summer provision has been opened to other organisations. If a principal is not willing to open up, could it be provided for that another organisation, teacher or set of teachers from a different school could come in and use the facilities in that school?
