I have that now. There is language about there being a pathway. For the overall, or the 92% who are accommodated, is there an indication as to how many of those children will have a place on the last week in August or the first week in September? I think in terms of new builds and SET and SNA allocations. How many will have a physical place? Has that number been identified? The Minister indicated there is an intention, if there is not a physical place, to bring those kids into the class to give them the same experience. Will the Minister of State elaborate on what the plan is?
