Ms Derval McDonagh:

I will take the question on the ten years. I would love to think we could revolutionise the system long before that. I have already told members stories about the children and families and their experience right now. They cannot wait ten years for change and things need to happen right now for them to change the system. However, we are also realists about the whole shift that needs to be made here and what we need to see to build trust in the system. It is trust that is lacking. There is a lack of trust from school communities because they are wondering whether they will get the resources, training or support they need to do this. Fundamentally there is a lack of trust from children and families as well, because of their experiences. I guess what the ten-year plan does is set out the Government's intention. It is a clear signal of leadership in this space. It says we believe it is really important for all children in the education system to move in this direction and we believe it is so important we are going to create a ten-year plan that is agreed across Government. It is kind of like a Sláintecare for education.
