Gabhaim buíochas le gach duine as teacht os comhair an choiste. I am aware that I have five minutes and five questions to ask so I will try to get through them as fast as I can. They all stem from what we heard in the previous session and the first relates to summer provision. One of the things we heard clearly from our guests during the previous session was that they feel strongly that summer provision should be led by service providers and should be seen as a fourth semester, or whatever you want to call it, and as a part of the year for visually impaired students. Is that something that has been considered? Has the Department engaged with the sector on that point?
