I thank the Minister of State and he is correct that it is a community-based initiative centred on lateral thinking. The library is fundamental to it and the very enthusiastic librarian there has been wonderful. I take the Minister of State's point that it is a matter for the Teaching Council and that the inspector is coming to visit at some stage in November. What is the link between the inspector and the Teaching Council and how could we engage with the Teaching Council before the course ends on 10 December? That does not mean we will not have another course in the spring but we should make the most of this one and learn in order to replicate it. If we get a good, tight and well-structured model here, there is no reason we could not roll it out regionally or nationally. We have the required personnel.
