She cannot do so. I would like to refer to the cases of two small rural schools in County Galway which are about to lose a few students. I ask the Minister to do something about the schools' problems as an act of goodwill. A three-teacher school that has 49 students will be downgraded and will lose a teacher. If a larger school's enrolment drops to 179 students, it will lose other teachers. The schools to which I refer are Lavally and Dunmore national schools near Tuam in County Galway. I could give many other examples, but I will concentrate on the two that come to mind.
