In relation to Gaeltacht Uíbh Ráthaigh, to which Deputy Daly made reference, we are currently rolling out a targeted pilot for rural schools. The schools involved are of a variety of different backgrounds including some that are Irish-medium and some of which are not, some with a particular ethos while others have a different ethos, or whatever. It is quite all-encompassing from that point of view. The three schools referred to are part of that pilot, from the point of view of small schools.
