First, I welcome the fact that the Minister has stated today that there will be an accommodation made for students. I ask that she takes a few minutes to tease out what that accommodation will be for 2021. How much have we spent so far on the legal cases? Are the legal cases being contested individually? Will the expenditure on the legal cases, both in terms of what is spent on the legal teams and what is allocated for compensation, come out of the budget of the Department of Education and will that have an impact on what the Department can deliver through its budget?

When are the 120 guidance counsellors going to be put in place? We did a survey earlier this year that showed that 75% of leaving certificate students from last year felt that they did not receive adequate career guidance.
