I propose to take Questions Nos. 218 to 221, inclusive, together.

I met with ASTI on 15 June on the issue of Junior Cycle reform. In the context of the Lansdowne Road Agreement, I have on several occasions invited ASTI to discuss issues of mutual concern, but ASTI have to date declined such a meeting. The invitation to them remains open.

I have not yet met with INTO, TUI and IFUT but I intend to do so as soon as is practicable.
