Can I ask the Minister about the trust idea? Trust is terribly important, as he will know, particularly trust between him and the teachers and between the teachers and him. Third-level education is one of the best examples of a situation in which people get educated in an organisation, qualify in an organisation, go back into the organisation and stay in it for the rest of their lives. That happens constantly in third level, where postgraduates end up teaching and never move, so second level is not a good example.

I want the Minister to talk to me about the trust idea. Trust is very important and it is something that has been mentioned in the media.
