On additional schools, representations have been made. I know the Department wants to increase the number of non-religious schools or multidenominational schools. Educate Together in Galway has put forward a very comprehensive submission. It has highlighted differences with the Department of Education and Skills relating to the position of education in Galway where there are waiting lists for schools. It has asked for a meeting and to work with the Department on this. Is the Department open to this?
