With all the reviews the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment is doing good work. I know the junior cycle review is to be published soon. We could have all these reviews and improvements, however, and still have loopholes that deny the education required for gender-diverse and young people who have same-sex attractions. Does the Minister envisage a need to use that element in the programme for Government to advantage those kids?
