To some degree, the witnesses have dealt with the SET issue. Scoil Mhuire na nGael came to me nearly straightaway, as did Scoil Naomh Lorcan. One of those is a school in Dundalk near the estate in which I live and the other is out in Omeath. I have also had contact from Scoil Dairbhre national school. I would be afraid to talk to anymore principals on the basis of what it is. They are all saying that their read of the situation is that they are down significantly. We are talking about the framework. How will the review process work and what timeline are we talking about, school by school? The witnesses are accepting that the NCSE might not necessarily have the resources yet but are expecting a fair increase because of the changes.
