I thank Mr. Kearney. Just before we finish, I ask him to comment on an issue that has been in the media in the past 48 hours. It was requested that section 37A would not be invoked until September. There were comments from the INTO in that regard. Could Mr. Kearney comment on the matter? Letters were sent to schools, in particular to the 14 schools in Dublin. Ten schools engaged and four did not. Part of the section 37A process is that the schools are then listed on the Department's website.
