I will get in touch with the Minister of State about specific areas, that is for sure.

I have one last final comment. The Minister of State referred to the right to education and that it is not necessarily based on locality. This is a really problematic approach from the Department because it should not be a postcode lottery. We have had people in before the committee who have said that when they came from Australia, the drop in services and access to education for their child was unbelievable. They made the decision to move back here because they wanted to be near family. Then, when they moved from Galway to Cork, there was the same drop and the service was completely depleted. It should not be a case of a postcode lottery around access to essential services that people have a right to.
