Séamus Healy (Tipperary South, Independent)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the need for the Minister for Education and Science and the Government to provide the €50 million in the upcoming budget that is necessary to implement the McIver report that was commissioned under the terms of Sustaining Progress to provide appropriate resourcing, staffing, structuring and development of the post-leaving certificate sector that caters for almost 30,000 students. This report has remained unimplemented for the past two and a half years despite the Department of Education and Science's commitment to implement its recommendations.
