Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

It would not mean that the child had achieved the mark. It is a matter for the universities. I have been explicit in my opinion that I wish to see bonus points for honours mathematics. It is the first recommendation in the report of the innovation task force. I have heard no dissenting voice in the House in this regard. I have explicitly asked the universities to take into consideration the recommendations of the task force and Members' opinions.
