My point may be more appropriate for the general discussion. I am somewhat disappointed there is nothing with respect to guidance and counselling services in the schools. From having spoken to people in third level and further education, I note we are now beginning to see the cost of the failure to provide guidance as students move through second level. There is poor choice of third level programmes. I would have expected us to try to row back on that.
