There are some specific questions there for Ms Carton, Mr. Pike and Mr. Duffy. I would also like to ask Ms Carton if the Department has any responsibility or oversight in respect of staff who are in the schools but whom it does not pay directly. If not, who has that responsibility or oversight? Does it rest purely with the boards of management? I will ask Ms Carton to respond to those specific questions, and we will then go on to Mr. Pike and Mr. Duffy. There is no need for anyone else to comment unless they feel they need to do so. We will accept any further submissions from any of the organisations or groups.
