Deputy Eugene Murphy wishes to intervene but with regard to your point about content, one of the issues we highlighted related to the role of Parliament and parliamentary committees. We perceive that there is a phasing out of that knowledge, as it were, at junior cycle level. I am relying on my notes but with the new well-being programme the current civic, social and political education, CSPE, is being phased out under the junior cycle reform programme. Where lies the ability of students to glean knowledge on the role of Parliament and parliamentary committees, for example?
