I thank the Minister for his comprehensive answer. I agree with him completely. We would welcome that engagement. It is very important that we would engage. The Department in the past has taken a very different approach and given directives on how things would be.

I seek further clarification on the wider dimension such as the language ethos of a school, for example, where there might be some schools in the Gaeltacht and others outside it. Will that be taken into consideration when clustering schools?
