Mr. Paul Crone:

On a point Deputy Ó Cathasaigh made, the quality of our teachers is what is keeping our system going as is the caring nature of the teachers and their commitment to supporting their students. In any new system or in any way they are asked to support students, schools will not be found wanting. They want to be involved and to support their students. We will certainly be at the table and our voice will be heard loud and clear.
