I thank Ms Rush. I have a number of questions. On the issue of agri-education that Deputy Nolan has spoken about, agriculture has come in for a lot of criticism over the past while. Some of the secondary schools and two vocational colleges in my constituency offer the opportunity for students to study the green cert, which I very much welcome. An awful lot of young students do not want to go to agricultural college; they want to be able to study it locally.

On the new subject of climate action and sustainable development, will that feed into people being able to study agriculture in secondary schools? Will it be part and parcel of them being able to further educate themselves for the green cert?
