I have one last question.

An issue that comes up in every school is cover for people on leave. Some of the teachers working in special education centres do not get leave days for certain issues. Something arose today for two members elected to the local authority in Longford. There has been a change in the schedule for municipal meetings, which will now be held at 11 a.m. These two members work in special education. They are duty bound to attend the meetings on behalf of the electorate but the school will not be able to get cover. Is this correct?
