I thank all the guests for coming before the committee. I might take Ms Doyle up on that proposal about more questions on the leaving certificate subject. I welcome the fact that we are introducing climate action and sustainable development as a senior cycle course. As Ms Doyle said, however, the primary purpose of any course is to educate and to inform students about an area. I suppose that has an expertise to it and is an arcane discipline in some way. Will Ms Doyle tell me something about the course? What will be involved in it? What will students be taught over the two-year period? Obviously, it cannot just be about activism; it has to be about education as well.
