I had not intended to intervene but I will avail of the opportunity to do so.
I had some correspondence from an individual in Castleisland, County Kerry. I am sure other members may have received correspondence on making school books affordable, in particular exam papers. Have others come across the proposals that the individual has put forward? I am sure Senator Moloney would be familiar with schoolbooks.ie. Should this be examined further? I am aware the Department of Education and Skills has reservations about the competition element of it, but this individual might have a good idea. Have members come across his proposals?
