I am very pleased to give the Deputy an update on Politics and Society. I have decided to include Politics and Society within the suite of subjects available to schools in the Leaving Certificate.
In the last fortnight, I wrote to the NCCA about this and have sought their advice on a number of issues which need to be addressed before the subject can be made available.
