It is lovely to see the Minister again. I have four questions and I hope I manage to get through them all. The first one, which will be no surprise to the Minister, is in relation to a five-year forward plan for the delivery of special education classes and places in special schools. We are in a yearly cycle of delivering places for children with additional needs. Work is under way to make that a more efficient system but it strikes me that we should be doing this with a longer projection than we are currently. Is that something that can be factored into the Minister's Estimates? Is that something she can take on board today?
