I propose to take Questions Nos. 159, 160 and 161 together.
There are nine model schools in the Republic of Ireland located in: Athy, County Kildare; Bailieboro, County Cavan; Monaghan Town; Dunmanway, County Cork; Limerick city; Galway city; Central Model junior, Marlborough St., Dublin; Central Model senior, Marlborough St., Dublin; Scoil Chaoimhín, Marlborough St., Dublin.
