The Taoiseach will be familiar with the pilot scheme to introduce therapists to special schools. I am sure he will be aware that many schools that did not make the initial pilot scheme were very disappointed. Six schools were initially approved to go forward. I have no doubt that the Taoiseach is also aware that the scheme has been beset with problems and delays, particularly with recruitment. We were due to have the next ten schools announced as part of the pilot at the end of last month. It is now 6 November and that has not happened. Therefore, it is another delay. Can the Taoiseach assure us before we leave here this week that the ten schools due to participate in the pilot project will receive news to that effect?
