Before we welcome the Minister, I refer to an item of correspondence received from Ms Eleanor McClorey, chief executive officer of Young Ballymun, with regard to a presentation she made at the Joint Committee on Education and Social Protection on 23 May last. When she spoke about the importance of supporting parents, infants and toddlers during the vital first three years of life, she mentioned that "in Ballymun approximately 3% of children go on to third level education." She has written to inform us that she should have specified that Jesuit University Support and Training Ballymun has estimated that 3% of Ballymun residents attend third level education. She has apologised for this inaccuracy and asked us to note the amendment she wishes to make to the record. Is it agreed that the committee note this correction? Agreed.
