You know, as in, they're watching it now, and I guess smartphones like this, you know, you've had round-the-clock access to this content, I guess, in people's pockets for 10 to 15 years now.

So when do you think we won't be able to ignore this as a problem anymore?

Let me put it that way.

It's an important part of this whole discussion, George.

I'm glad you brought it up and thanks a million for getting in touch.

There are 3,067 national schools across the state, across the length and breadth of Ireland and across the length and breadth of Ireland.

The parents of all the kids in those national schools were asked a few weeks ago what choice they would like in terms of religious ethos and what have you.

40%.

said that they would like to send their kids to a multi-denominational school.

So still majority support for the status quo, but 40% is a sizable minority say they would like that choice.

Now, if that choice, if that demand was being met, we would have about 1,200 multi-denominational schools in Ireland.
