It depends on whether we consider autumn to end this month or next month, I suppose. We might get a written review on that.

On whether orientation, mobility and life skills should be part of the school curriculum, we heard about how well this works in three counties in Munster, where it is put through the education system, and about the benefit of it.

That pilot project started 20 years ago. Why has a pilot project taken 20 years and why has it not been looked at in other areas?
