Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

As the academic year starts in autumn and finishes in June, we have only one window, as it were, to introduce the change. It cannot be done in mid-term. It is a little like the all-Ireland final. As the people of Kerry know, they will have to wait 12 months before they can have another crack at it. I hope to be in a position to have the two issues the Deputy raises addressed for the next academic year.
