Perhaps the Minister will allow me, before I begin, to mention the accident in Limerick this morning. A Bus Éireann Bus had an accident and there were 46 students on board. There are no full reports on the extent of the casualties at this stage. Our thoughts are with the affected families. I am sure the members of the committee have the same feelings. It is a sad and worrying time for the families.
