The remit of the Joint Committee on Children and Youth Affairs would be narrower in that we would not look at the value of the textbook as an educational method. That would be a matter for the Joint Committee on Education and Skills. Our concern is really with the health of children's backs. However, I take Ms Lynch's points.
