I thank Ms McNally and Ms Mannion for the comprehensive update. I hope the measures outlined will further increase the provision of the summer programme.

On the point of teachers who do not work during the summer, some of whom have to sign-on, is there any engagement between the Department of Education and the Department of Social Protection to try to formalise and modernise the process? It is time consuming not only for the individuals concerned, but also for the Departments.
