I would like to drill into that further. If we are the second worst in overall funding based on GNI* when we have those high levels of participation, I suppose the logical outworking of that is the cost may be subsumed into the increased pupil-teacher ratio that Mr. Miley mentioned. I absolutely agree with him that 23:1 is much too high to provide the level of education we need. The other component of that must be the cost to the individual student. Where does Ireland rank in the OECD on the cost to the individual student to access third level education?
