Marc MacSharry (Fianna Fail)

In a week in which Members also celebrated the prowess of Trinity College in being among the top 100 universities in the world, is it not fantastic that an Irish institute of technology and its students competed with 350,000 other student entries from 183 countries and not only qualified for the finals but won that event? I am sure the Leader will permit me to take this opportunity to send good wishes and congratulations to Institute of Technology Sligo and Team HERMES, as it was called, for their extraordinary achievement today. Following on from this, I ask the Leader to arrange for a debate on the issue of entrepreneurship education. He may recall my previously expressed interest in the potential introduction of entrepreneurship education modules from primary school right through second, third and fourth levels.

Finally, while it took many years, as an amateur actor I always dreamt that my talent would be discovered by the director of the Abbey Theatre and, consequently, I feel as though I finally have arrived.
