The task force has been set up in Dublin 15 and there has been huge engagement. I cannot overstate enough that the Department of education, the NCSE and ourselves are working week in, week out, and day in, day out, to make sure there will be places for everybody. Our aim for September, whether in Dublin 15 or any other part of the country, is to have a school place for everybody. As I understand it, we will have the report of the task force on either Friday or Monday, which will inform us as well. We have an awful lot of work done with the families and schools in Dublin 15 and elsewhere. I do not have the figures right here and now but I assure the Deputy that both the Minister, Deputy McEntee, and I are working to ensure that we have a place in September for everybody. That is our aim.
