It would be good to clarify that. Previously some Bills could not progress when a Deputy became a Minister.

I agree with the comment that social media is going to be a challenge for us all. It is already a challenge for us all.

On the junior certificate issue, I want to say that our young petitioner has made a very good case. It is only right that we should pursue this further. I welcome the course of action that is proposed, on the basis that there are many students out there who work hard and try hard but who just cannot face into exams and have a difficulty with the time given to them now. There obviously must be some time limit on exams, but I accept that there is probably a disconnect between some people who set the exams and students, and even parents as well. Inviting the officials back in before this committee is the proper course of action.
