The Deputy is correct. There was and is a very positive story in Synge Street CBS. I congratulate everybody involved in bringing it to the point it is at. I particularly acknowledge the Edmund Rice Schools Trust, ERST, for its role in this. We look forward to this perhaps being a role model for others going forward, in addition to all the other efforts being made. I hear what the Deputy is saying about what she regards, and what has been communicated to her, as the challenges or shortcomings that would be anticipated in the draft. I must be clear that we have not seen it. This is a view that is being expressed in advance of the policy. I hear what the Deputy is saying. That is all I can say. Given that I have not seen the draft, I cannot say anything further.
