What about third level? This is a bête noir of mine. There is access to first and second level education but we want these people to continue, hopefully, if they are not deported, and I will speak about the deportation criteria. I know the figures have improved over the years, but 23%, which is 950 people, remained in direct provision even though their cases had been finalised. Then there are children born in direct provision. We want to make sure they are educated and can transition as smoothly as possible out of the system. What is the issue with third level? How can we address this?
