My understanding is that significant resources were put into the schools through that programme. This may not have been in the capitation category, but in terms of curriculum supports and other supports in the general area for young people in particular, including therapeutic supports for children and multidisciplinary teams. I think that has worked very well. Again, I will refer this matter to the Minister for Education for a response. Additionally, there are mechanisms in the Department to deal with schools that find themselves in difficulty in terms of the normal financial overheads and so on.
