Paul Gogarty (Dublin Mid West, Green Party)

I seek leave to adjourn the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following issue of national importance on the day the Revised Estimates for Education are being voted on, namely the need for the Government to cherish all of the State's children equally by funding education instead of cherrypicking investment as regards schools and other educational institutions and giving a callous "either/or" choice for much needed funding. There is a need for the Government to realise that changing its prim self-righteous refusal stance towards providing the necessary investment will benefit us all in the medium term.
