I address these questions to Mr. Kelly. We spoke in the previous session about the different schemes that apply for students leaving school seeking to enter third level institutions in Ireland and Northern Ireland. In the former, it is the CAO. Offers of places are made after the examination results come out. In the latter it is UCAS and one gets a conditional acceptance. Is there a way to make the two schemes compatible with each other or will it be extremely difficult to do so?
