Síle de Valera (Clare, Fianna Fail)

I am attempting to do so. It is important to understand the context. The most important question the Deputy asked has been asked by those who are working in the post-leaving certificate sector. They wish to know what is happening in terms of the allocation of teachers in the current and subsequent academic years. Unfortunately, we do not have unlimited funds to look after all these programmes. The number of participants in many of these courses is growing. We must be able to manage this and this can only be done through discussion. This is why I feel the IVEA and TUI discussions are particularly important.
