I agree completely with Ms Murphy's point that education, health and child care are crucial in society. Nonetheless, they are areas that have been neglected, let us face it, which is where we have got the priorities wrong. As I stated earlier, there is a way around this and it simply means prioritising what is important. That has not happened in the past and it needs to happen now. It will affect future change and will affect our young people and society in general. We need to have our priorities right. We need to put pressure on the Government to ensure those areas are always prioritised.
