Mr. Tiernan O'Neill:

I am very fortunate with the deputy principal in our school and a number of our staff who are literally, daily trawling websites looking for funding applications or are spending hours afterschool completing funding applications at home. They are going to meet individuals, no more than Mr. Cronin is I would say, pitching. Children's futures are depending on our pitching. That is not what this should be about. Our country should be in a position now where we are ensuring these children get the education and opportunities they deserve and require.
