I propose to take Questions Nos. 465 and 466 together.

The 78 schools chosen to participate in the 100 mbps Pilot Project have by now all received their enhanced bandwidth and have successfully migrated onto HEAnet's network. My Department, in conjunction with the Department of Education and Skills will now undertake both a technical and pedagogical evaluation of the Pilot Project.

In line with the renewed Programme for Government it is my intention to have all post primary schools connected under the scheme, by the end of 2012.
