I reiterate that because it is extraordinary we might be looking to move that funding out of the Department of Education. If it currently is in the Department, that seems an unusual choice because we have heard from the previous speakers that it is about the experience of school and is absolutely about school life. Whether it is a legacy issue or not, we might need to look again at that.

I will return to Mr. Kenny. I sat across from the Minister about two or three years ago and talked at length about reasonable accommodation. I think I had the very small Irish reasonable accommodation document and the very large UK reasonable accommodation document. I asked about this review and was assured it was happening. When I say "review", I totally understand what the officials were saying about things changing every year. I assume students ask questions every year because their needs are not being met and then the system changes as a result. However, to hear the terms of reference are just agreed and the review has not commenced is really surprising to me. I am wondering whether the officials can set out a timeline. There are students here who are struggling with the lack of reasonable accommodation.
