Yes. I understand it is aiming to do that in the early months of 2026. On the education aspect of the AON, we have engaged significantly with the Department of education about lifting the requirement around special classes and special schools for an AON. I acknowledge that it is prepared to accept that and it is currently working on the application for either the special class or special school being education-led as distinct from AON-led.
