I appreciate that the Minister has responded on the accommodation for leaving certificate 2021. I believe there needs to be a larger element of choice than has already been disseminated through the schools.

On the review of DEIS and school transport, I am aware that these two issues are on the Minister's radar. Will the Minister give us an update on that? The school completion programme has been moved to the Department of Education, which is very welcome news, and it is a much better fit there than with the Department with responsibility for youth, children and Tusla. Does the Minister feel that there is more scope in what can be done via that programme?
