Yes, there are. Next was Senator O'Donnell, who asked me some hard sums. We have been doing the sums here on the total numbers in education. I will give the breakdown first and then state the total at the end. I can supply the figures fully later on. There are approximately 65,000 in early childhood education, 536,317 in primary education, 333,213 in post-primary education, 165,000 in full-time higher education and 56,000 in training and apprenticeships, adding up to a total of approximately 1,165,530. That does not include people studying part-time at third level.
