So we go to the sources: ministry circulars, embassy notices and the programme pages themselves, and we print what they actually say, with the date we checked it. Issue 008 is about a date that is missing. The Department of Education and Youth runs two language assistant schemes, one bringing assistants into Irish schools and one sending Irish students out to Europe. On 6 October it told the inbound side that the 2027\/2028 round opens in January 2027. The outbound page, the one an Irish student depends on, still fronts a round that has already closed. Ola read both pages and all six country terms at source on 11 November. The second half of the issue completes the pay board this desk left three blanks in a fortnight ago, and resolves the France date discrepancy Issue 007 printed as unreconciled: France files through the French Embassy, not the Department, which is why its deadline was three days later. If a line on this page is wrong, we correct it and say so.<\/p>\n    <p class=\"who\">Katie Troy &middot; Managing Director, The TEFL Institute of Ireland.
