I thank the Minister of State. I think we would all appreciate that.

There is a €9 million allocation to hire additional tutors for English as a second or additional language for Ukrainians here. That must translate into quite a few tutors throughout the ETBs. How many tutor positions does that translate into? How has recruitment been on that? What qualifications are we looking for among the tutors? Where are we with curriculum design? As it is being delivered through the ETBs, I would expect a kind of standardisation in how it is being applied. Essentially, are we getting enough people to teach them and are they well enough qualified?
