We get updates. Heretofore meetings involving the NCSE, the Department of Education and Youth and ourselves to discuss special classes and working through the numbers were taking place every Wednesday. We get information as it becomes available from the Department as to which projects are progressing. Some of the schools and school authorities are reaching out and updating me on the physical building that is moving on apace. They send me updates on Fridays. It could happen at any stage. I welcome the initiative. Some projects are due to commence in the coming weeks, and there is considerable work going on. Yesterday, there were 45 people on one of the building sites. They are working to ensure the building involved opens as soon as possible. In respect of anything we have committed to in terms of modules, we are working desperately hard to have places available as soon as possible.
