I welcome that confirmation. It is a huge boost to everybody involved in the centre of excellence that is Scoil Aonghusa. I acknowledge all the team in the school who do such fantastic work that creates such a positive environment for these young students to reach their maximum ability in. The board met on Tuesday night last and obviously welcomed this approval. As I said, they have been waiting for this since 2015. I think some further clarity is being sought. There are 24 teaching posts in the school. Only six existing classrooms adhere to the departmental specification so there is some back and forth between the board and the Minister's officials. It is approximately 18 classes versus 14. I ask the Minister to follow up with her officials so we can get that additional clarity around the number of classrooms.
