The common thread running through these three motions is the children and the stress this situation is causing them at a time, as outlined by Deputy Martin in her presentation, when they are faced with taking their first State examination, which in itself is a stressful enough experience. This discussion has been worthwhile. Ultimately all we are seeking is an outcome. It is unfortunate that the children appear to be the meat in the sandwich but hopefully, Deputy Thomas Byrne said, a resolution is close. For that reason, I will follow the same line as my colleague, Deputy Byrne.
